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.

John Hughes: 1 line

  1. career (creator self-projection) · through The Breakfast Club (1985), which they acted in: John Hughes ⇒ The Breakfast Club (the host's read). Hughes is a cross between Hall's Breakfast Club character and Cameron, and did his best writing for those guys.
    “my guess would be he was kind of a cross between Anthony Michael Hall's breakfast club character and Cameron in a lot of ways”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’ With Bill Simmons, Sean Fennessey, and Chris Ryan · 0:11:32 · Bill Simmons (0.70 sure it was them)

Alan Ruck: 1 line

  1. lineage (character lineage) · through The Breakfast Club (1985), which they acted in: The Breakfast Club ⇒ Alan Ruck (the host's read). Cameron is an extension of Anthony Michael Hall's Breakfast Club character, with similar anxiety and a near suicide beat.
    “Yeah, it's kind of an extension of the Anthony Michael Hall character in Breakfast Club.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’ With Bill Simmons, Sean Fennessey, and Chris Ryan · 0:05:07 · Sean Fennessey (0.60 sure it was them)

Weird Science (1985): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through The Breakfast Club (1985), which they acted in: The Breakfast Club ⇒ Weird Science (the host's read). Gary's girlfriend in Canada is a gag taken from Breakfast Club.
    “Like, that's the thing directly from Breakfast Club.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Weird Science’ With Bill Simmons and Kyle Brandt · 0:17:25 · Kyle Brandt (0.55 sure it was them)

What was said about them, by kind

what-if (1)

  1. what-if (what-if): Just One of the Guys → Judd Nelson. Joyce Hyser nearly played Dr. Melfi; equivalent to Judd Nelson almost being Walter White; the 'hammer' of internet research.
    “He said this to me was the equivalent of finding out”
    The Rewatchables · A CR Month Mailbag! · 1:23:06 · Bill Simmons (0.40 sure it was them)
