Gregory McDonald: 1 line

lineage (source material) · through Fletch (1985), which they were tied to as considered for Fletch: Gregory McDonald ⇒ Fletch (the host's read). Fletch adapts the McDonald novels; the noir voiceover feels like the book, the ad-libbed scenes deviate.
“So it's a Gregory McDonald novel”
The Rewatchables · ‘Fletch’ With Bill Simmons, Sean Fennessey, and Chris Ryan · 0:25:35 · Bill Simmons (0.80 sure it was them)

Confess, Fletch (2022): 1 line

unmapped (reboot) · through Fletch (1985), which they were tied to as considered for Fletch: Fletch ⇒ Confess, Fletch (the host's read). Chris describes it as a riff on the long-promised Fletch franchise reboot, with Jon Hamm taking the role Chevy Chase made iconic.
“Chevy Chase did an iconic turn as a Fletch character, a journalist come detective in Los Angeles.”
The Big Picture · The 2022 Movie Draft · 1:08:48 · Chris Ryan (0.85 sure it was them)

Ryan Reynolds: 1 line

theme (persona successor) · through Fletch (1985), which they were tied to as considered for Fletch: Fletch ⇒ Ryan Reynolds (the host's read). Reynolds stole the Chevy Chase playbook; Deadpool is Fletch.
“Deadpool is Fletch.”
The Rewatchables · ‘Fletch’ With Bill Simmons, Sean Fennessey, and Chris Ryan · 1:15:11 · Chris Ryan (0.40 sure it was them)
