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.

Tanner '88 (1988): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through The Larry Sanders Show (1992), which they acted in: Tanner '88 ⇒ The Larry Sanders Show (the host's read). Bill calls Tanner '88 ground zero for the mockumentary with cameos, thrown into a real world.
    “that is kind of ground 0 for that mockumentary.”
    The Rewatchables · 'The Player' With Bill Simmons, Sean Fennessey, and Wesley Morris · 0:16:51 · Bill Simmons (0.50 sure it was them)

The Big Chill (1983): 1 line

  1. theme (theme) · through Reality Bites (1994), which they acted in: The Big Chill ⇒ Reality Bites (the host's read). Reality Bites is the young-person reaction to the sold-out generation The Big Chill depicts.
    “And then that's why like reality bites hits and you see reality bites and you're like, oh, that's why Troy is like, fuck everything.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘The Big Chill’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Sean Fennessey · 0:12:44 · unknown (0.40 sure it was them)

The Player (1992): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through The Larry Sanders Show (1992), which they acted in: The Player ⇒ The Larry Sanders Show (the host's read). Bill asks whether The Player is ground zero for the meta-Hollywood strain that runs through Larry Sanders and Curb.
    “Larry Sanders and Curb your enthusiasm and all these different things we've had over the 30 years.”

What was said about them, by kind

people (1)

  1. people (people): Janeane Garofalo → Say Anything.... Garofalo's character feels like an extension of Lili Taylor's in Say Anything.
    “kind of an extension of Lily Taylor from say anything a little bit.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Reality Bites’ 25th Anniversary With Bill Simmons, Chuck Klosterman, and Chris Ryan · 0:33:27 · Bill Simmons (0.40 sure it was them)

what-if (1)

  1. what-if (what-if): Parker Posey → Janeane Garofalo. Posey auditioned for Vickie and is the only person who might have matched Garofalo.
    “Parker Posey is the only person that I feel like could have done that.”
