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.

William Jennings Bryan: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Inherit the Wind (1960), which they acted in: William Jennings Bryan ⇒ Inherit the Wind (the host's read). Brady is loosely based on Bryan; the film is loosely based on the Scopes trial.

Drawn on by

What the speakers say drew on them or a film of theirs, marked the same way.

Father of the Bride (1991): 1 line

  1. lineage (remake) · through Father of the Bride (1950), which they acted in: Father of the Bride ⇒ Father of the Bride (the host's read). The 1991 film remakes the Spencer Tracy and Elizabeth Taylor original, and the duo argue the remake anxiety has faded with time.
    “there is obviously the original with Spencer Tracy and Elizabeth Taylor, but fine.”
