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.

Michael Crichton: 1 line

  1. unmapped (adapted) · through Disclosure, which they acted in: Michael Crichton ⇒ Disclosure (the host's read). The hosts note Disclosure is a Crichton book adaptation.
    “I forgot that's a crate.”
    Blank Check — Patreon · The Game with Brendan Hines (Ad-Free) · 0:19:00 · unknown (0.30 sure it was them)

Oliver Stone: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Margin Call (2011), which they acted in: Oliver Stone ⇒ Margin Call (the maker said so: Brian speaking about his own writing). Oliver Stone is as big an influence on Brian's dialogue as anybody but Mamet.
    “Oliver Stone's big an influence on the way that I write dialogue as anybody but Mammoth.”
    The Big Picture · Top Five Gen X Director Debuts, the Fate of ‘Black Widow,’ and a Potential Oscars Disaster · 1:09:43 · Brian Koppelman (0.65 sure it was them)

The Verdict (1982): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through A Few Good Men (1992), which they acted in: The Verdict ⇒ A Few Good Men (the host's read). You cannot have A Few Good Men without The Verdict; everything on the courtroom checklist comes from it.
    “you really, really cannot have a few good men without having the verdict”

Drawn on by

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

Billions: 2 lines

  1. career (career) · through Margin Call (2011), which they acted in: Margin Call ⇒ Billions (the maker said so: Koppelman, Billions co-creator, on the show). Koppelman says Margin Call reaffirmed how he and Dave had thought about these people, and made a hedge-fund story make more sense than a bank story.
    “margin call may be reaffirmed that the way Dave and I thought about these people, as we'd met them, was pretty much like the way a lot of them are”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Margin Call’ With Bill Simmons, Ryen Russillo, and Brian Koppelman · 0:21:18 · Brian Koppelman (0.90 sure it was them)
  2. lineage (lineage) · through Margin Call (2011), which they acted in: Margin Call ⇒ Billions (the maker said so: Koppelman, Billions co-creator, on the show). Koppelman says the borrowed lesson is that Margin Call does not speak down to the viewer.
    “this movie doesn't speak down to the viewer”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Margin Call’ With Bill Simmons, Ryen Russillo, and Brian Koppelman · 0:21:59 · Brian Koppelman (0.90 sure it was them)

A Time to Kill (1996): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through A Few Good Men (1992), which they acted in: A Few Good Men ⇒ A Time to Kill (the host's read). A Time to Kill blends every earlier trope: country lawyer, big-shot prosecutor, cranky judge.
    “puts them in a blender and it gives you every single thing”
