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.

Steven Spielberg: 1 line the host's read ×1

  1. craft (borrowed style): Steven Spielberg ⇒ Independence Day (the host's read). Independence Day cribs the Spielberg look of actors slowly standing up to stare at something dramatic.
    “And then independence, like cribs a lot of that.”
