Came from

What the speakers say it 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.

Taken: 1 line the host's read ×1

  1. lineage (genre descendant): Taken ⇒ The Equalizer (the host's read). Taken's box office started a subgenre of an older star beating up younger bad guys, and The Equalizer is the first example.
    “There's a whole subgenre of movies after taking exploded at the box office where everybody's like, oh, shoot, we just have to get an old person and let them fight young people”
