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.

A Bronx Tale (1993): 1 line

  1. lineage (influence) · through The Sopranos (1999), which they acted in: A Bronx Tale ⇒ The Sopranos (the host's read). Ryan argues A Bronx Tale influenced The Sopranos more than any other movie, with Sonny and Tony Soprano close in how they hold the neighborhood.
    “I think Bronx Tale... influenced the Sopranos more than any other movie, but I don't think people think that.”

Alfred Hitchcock: 1 line

  1. craft (craft) · through My Cousin Vinny (1992), which they acted in: Alfred Hitchcock ⇒ My Cousin Vinny (the host's read). A Dutch-angle shot of James Rebhorn is called supposed to be out of Hitchcock, offered while saying the film has no truly cinematic shot.
    “I guess like there's a shot at James Rehorn that's supposed to be out of like Hitchcock or something where it's like a Dutch angle”
    The Rewatchables · ‘My Cousin Vinny’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Wesley Morris · 0:51:35 · Wesley Morris (0.40 sure it was them)

Do the Right Thing (1989): 1 line

  1. theme (thematic follow-up) · through Jungle Fever (1991), which they acted in: Do the Right Thing ⇒ Jungle Fever (the host's read). Jungle Fever explored the Bensonhurst setting a couple of years later, rehearsing part of that story.
    “which I think is explored in jungle fever a couple years later”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Do The Right Thing’ With Sean Fennessey and Wesley Morris · 0:14:34 · Wesley Morris (0.70 sure it was them)

Three's Company: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through My Cousin Vinny (1992), which they acted in: Three's Company ⇒ My Cousin Vinny (the host's read). Built on the misunderstanding-sitcom gags of that era; Friends was the last to dive into it.
    “it's still the legacy of that 3s company era of misunderstandings that could be entire episode.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘My Cousin Vinny’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Wesley Morris · 0:08:02 · Bill Simmons (0.40 sure it was them)

Drawn on by

Deep Cover: 1 line

Fran Drescher: 1 line

  1. industry (industry) · through My Cousin Vinny (1992), which they acted in: My Cousin Vinny ⇒ Fran Drescher (the host's read). Easy to rip off Tomei because ethnic comic performers with timing and sex appeal knew what to do with such a part.
    “there's a whole world of so-called ethnics out there who have great comic timing are really sexy”
    The Rewatchables · ‘My Cousin Vinny’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Wesley Morris · 0:48:38 · Wesley Morris (0.80 sure it was them)

Legally Blonde (2001): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through My Cousin Vinny (1992), which they acted in: My Cousin Vinny ⇒ Legally Blonde (the host's read). Legally Blonde comes after Vinny and plays with the genre's moments.
