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.

Alfred Hitchcock: 1 line

  1. craft (craft) · through My Cousin Vinny (1992), which they directed: 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)

Three's Company: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through My Cousin Vinny (1992), which they directed: 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

What the speakers say drew on them or a film of theirs, marked the same way.

Fran Drescher: 1 line

  1. industry (industry) · through My Cousin Vinny (1992), which they directed: 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 directed: My Cousin Vinny ⇒ Legally Blonde (the host's read). Legally Blonde comes after Vinny and plays with the genre's moments.
    “it comes after my cousin Vinny”
    The Big Picture · Objection! Top 10 Courtroom Dramas | The Big Picture · 1:34:07 · Amanda Dobbins (0.75 sure it was them)

  1. craft (craft): Jonathan Lynn → My Cousin Vinny. Lynn used to be a lawyer so the trial stuff is tight, which is why lawyers love it.
