  1. lineage (lineage): Friday Night Lights (2004 film) → Varsity Blues. Both took viewers into the Texas football world; Friday Night Lights nailed it and the TV series went further.
    “Then this movie nailed it?”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Friday Night Lights’ With Bill Simmons and Mallory Rubin · 0:10:01 · Bill Simmons (0.60 sure it was them)
  2. lineage (lineage): Varsity Blues → Friday Night Lights (2004 film). Varsity Blues ripped off the Boobie Miles injury beat with its Lance Harbor injury, and the TV show flipped it with Jason Street.
    “I love varsity blues we've done on the rewatchables, but they rip it off with the Lance Harbor injury.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Friday Night Lights’ With Bill Simmons and Mallory Rubin · 0:35:23 · Mallory Rubin (0.50 sure it was them)
  3. programming (programming): Friday Night Lights (2004 film) → Varsity Blues. Best double feature: the serious Texas version after the super fun one.
    “We get the super fun Texas version, then we get like the serious version.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Friday Night Lights’ With Bill Simmons and Mallory Rubin · 1:42:43 · Bill Simmons (0.70 sure it was them)
  4. theme (speech trope): Miracle → Varsity Blues. Varsity Blues halftime speech is a good bad one.
    “like Vanderbeek at halftime of the last varsity booze game is great.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Miracle’ With Bill Simmons and Chris Ryan · 1:09:11 · Bill Simmons (0.55 sure it was them)
