What the speakers say drew on it, marked the same way.

Alien: Covenant: 1 line the host's read ×1

  1. industry (industry): The Martian ⇒ Alien: Covenant (the host's read). The Martian's success gave Scott leverage to make an odder Alien film.

Matt Damon: 2 lines career ×1 unmapped ×1

  1. unmapped (creep vs sweetheart): Matt Damon → The Martian. Damon's best work is the creeps like Ripley, and Ryan prefers that to his America's sweetheart phase in The Martian.
    “Matt Damon's best performances are always the one where he plays the creeps, like Ripley”

Citizen Kane: 1 line contrast ×1

  1. contrast (contrast): The Martian → Citizen Kane. The Martian is meant to be a balm, not an object of heavy analysis, unlike a Citizen Kane.
    “the Martian is a movie that's supposed to make people feel good, and it's supposed to be a bomb for you”

Ferrari: 1 line programming ×1

  1. programming (programming): Ferrari → The Martian. Ferrari feels like a late-summer release that should have had The Martian's slot, not Christmas.
    “This felt like it should have had the Martian spot.”

Ridley Scott: 1 line people ×1

  1. people (director): Ridley Scott → The Martian. Scott directed The Martian, a comedy winner at the Golden Globes.
    “directed by Richie Scott, who's a nice man.”

Starman: 1 line craft ×1
