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 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)

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

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 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)

James and the Giant Peach (1996): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · them, directly: Lane Smith ⇒ James and the Giant Peach (the host's read). Selick brought Lane Smith's artwork to life as the look of James and the Giant Peach.
    “James and the Giant Peachy got Lane Smith.”
    Blank Check with Griffin & David · Wendell & Wild · 1:09:37 · unclear (Griffin Newman or David Sims) (0.40 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.
    “it comes after my cousin Vinny”
