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.

Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997): 2 lines

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999), which they scored: Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery ⇒ Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (the host's read). Mini-Me/Scott Evil fight calls back to the toilet sequence in the first movie.
    “Great callback to the toilet sequence in the in the 1st movie”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me’ With Bill Simmons and Sean Fennessey · 0:25:51 · unknown (0.40 sure it was them)
  2. industry (franchise decline) · through Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999), which they scored: Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery ⇒ Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (the host's read). The sequels try to top themselves and Austin stops being funny once he figures himself out at the end of the first film.
    “The 2nd and thirds are just trying to top themselves.”
    Blank Check with Griffin & David · The Lost World: Jurassic Park · 1:32:19 · unknown (0.30 sure it was them)

A Clockwork Orange (1971): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (2026), which they scored: A Clockwork Orange ⇒ Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (the host's read). The contrapuntal needle drop descends from Singin' in the Rain in Clockwork Orange and Stuck in the Middle with You in Reservoir Dogs.
    “all the way back to singing in the rain in Clockwork Orange or stuck in the middle with you in, in, in, in Reservoir dogs.”
    The Big Picture · The Final Girl Film Canon and ‘Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma’ With Gillian Anderson, Hannah Einbinder, and Jane Schoenbrun! · 0:22:08 · Adam Nayman (0.55 sure it was them)

Alien (1979): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (2026), which they scored: Alien ⇒ Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (the host's read). Ripley stripped to underwear at the end is a vulnerability beat that Miasma echoes.
    “Yes, it is echoed in Teenage Tech”
    The Big Picture · The Final Girl Film Canon and ‘Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma’ With Gillian Anderson, Hannah Einbinder, and Jane Schoenbrun! · 0:47:57 · Adam Nayman (0.50 sure it was them)

Dr. No (1962): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999), which they scored: Dr. No ⇒ Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (the host's read). Bond is the blueprint for Austin Powers; Dr. Evil is Blofeld.
    “Dr. Evil being Blofeld and all that stuff, it's just kind of lost on the audience and it still works.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me’ With Bill Simmons and Sean Fennessey · 0:09:48 · unknown (0.40 sure it was them)

Friday the 13th (1980): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (2026), which they scored: Friday the 13th ⇒ Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (the host's read). The in-film franchise is very much Friday the 13th while also running through the paces of Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer.
    “It is very much Friday the 13th, but it's also gone through some of the same paces as Scream, and I know what you did last summer and things like that.”
    The Big Picture · The Final Girl Film Canon and ‘Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma’ With Gillian Anderson, Hannah Einbinder, and Jane Schoenbrun! · 0:21:40 · Adam Nayman (0.50 sure it was them)

Michael Caine: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999), which they scored: Michael Caine ⇒ Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (the host's read). Clearly based in part on a bunch of Michael Caine movies.
    “There's a bunch of Michael Kane movies that it's clearly based on.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me’ With Bill Simmons and Sean Fennessey · 0:07:12 · unknown (0.40 sure it was them)

Our Man Flint: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999), which they scored: Our Man Flint ⇒ Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (the host's read). Austin Powers draws on 60s spy movies like Our Man Flint and Michael Caine films.
    “a couple of other movies like Armand Flint, the James Coburn movie from the 60s”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me’ With Bill Simmons and Sean Fennessey · 0:07:08 · unknown (0.40 sure it was them)

Sleepaway Camp: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (2026), which they scored: Sleepaway Camp ⇒ Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (the maker said so: interviews with Jane). Sleepaway Camp is among the films in Miasma's DNA, along with Nightmare on Elm Street 2.
    “I think the movies that are in this movie's DNA or that have come up in interviews”
    The Big Picture · The Final Girl Film Canon and ‘Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma’ With Gillian Anderson, Hannah Einbinder, and Jane Schoenbrun! · 0:30:53 · Adam Nayman (0.50 sure it was them)

Sunset Boulevard: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (2026), which they scored: Sunset Boulevard ⇒ Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (the host's read). Billy is partly a Sunset Boulevard figure, which Anderson played with in costuming, and the film acknowledges the Norma Desmond comparison itself.
    “the Sunset Boulevard reference”
    The Big Picture · The Final Girl Film Canon and ‘Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma’ With Gillian Anderson, Hannah Einbinder, and Jane Schoenbrun! · 1:14:37 · Gillian Anderson (0.90 sure it was them)
