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.

Gregory McDonald: 1 line

lineage (source material) · through Fletch (1985), which they were tied to as studio head blocking remake: 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)

Susanna Moore: 1 line

lineage (lineage) · through In the Cut (2003), which they were tied to as producer (dropped out): Susanna Moore ⇒ In the Cut (the host's read). Campion had been developing the film since the mid-90s, when she read Moore's novel.
“Campion had been working on this movie since the mid 90s when she read Susanna Moore's novel, which came out in 95.”

Confess, Fletch (2022): 1 line

unmapped (reboot) · through Fletch (1985), which they were tied to as studio head blocking remake: 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.

Ryan Reynolds: 1 line

theme (persona successor) · through Fletch (1985), which they were tied to as studio head blocking remake: Fletch ⇒ Ryan Reynolds (the host's read). Reynolds stole the Chevy Chase playbook; Deadpool is Fletch.
“Deadpool is Fletch.”
