Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997): 2 lines

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999), which they acted in: Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery ⇒ Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (the host's read). Mini-Me/Scott Evil fight calls back to the toilet sequence in the first movie.
    “Great callback to the toilet sequence in the in the 1st movie”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me’ With Bill Simmons and Sean Fennessey · 0:25:51 · unknown (0.40 sure it was them)
  2. industry (franchise decline) · through Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999), which they acted in: Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery ⇒ Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (the host's read). The sequels try to top themselves and Austin stops being funny once he figures himself out at the end of the first film.
    “The 2nd and thirds are just trying to top themselves.”
    Blank Check with Griffin & David · The Lost World: Jurassic Park · 1:32:19 · unknown (0.30 sure it was them)

Do the Right Thing (1989): 1 line

  1. unmapped (borrowed speech) · through True Romance (1993), which they acted in: Do the Right Thing ⇒ True Romance (the host's read). The Sicilians-and-Moors speech in True Romance echoes what Mookie says to Pino in Sal's.
    “Well, Sicilians and and Africans and the Moors in that whole speech that appears in true romance, which is also something that Mookie essentially says to Pino”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Do The Right Thing’ With Sean Fennessey and Wesley Morris · 0:51:06 · Sean Fennessey (0.80 sure it was them)

Dr. No (1962): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999), which they acted in: Dr. No ⇒ Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (the host's read). Bond is the blueprint for Austin Powers; Dr. Evil is Blofeld.
    “Dr. Evil being Blofeld and all that stuff, it's just kind of lost on the audience and it still works.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me’ With Bill Simmons and Sean Fennessey · 0:09:48 · unknown (0.40 sure it was them)

Michael Caine: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999), which they acted in: Michael Caine ⇒ Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (the host's read). Clearly based in part on a bunch of Michael Caine movies.
    “There's a bunch of Michael Kane movies that it's clearly based on.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me’ With Bill Simmons and Sean Fennessey · 0:07:12 · unknown (0.40 sure it was them)

Our Man Flint: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999), which they acted in: Our Man Flint ⇒ Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (the host's read). Austin Powers draws on 60s spy movies like Our Man Flint and Michael Caine films.
    “a couple of other movies like Armand Flint, the James Coburn movie from the 60s”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me’ With Bill Simmons and Sean Fennessey · 0:07:08 · unknown (0.40 sure it was them)

  1. people (people): Saul Rubinek → True Romance. Bill defines the Dino Waiters award via overacting in True Romance's Rubinek-Pinchot scene.
