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.

Thief (1981): 3 lines

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Heat (1995), which they were tied to as what-if casting for Heat 2: Thief ⇒ Heat (the maker said so: the Siegel piece, Caan telling Pacino). Caan said scenes cut from Thief went to Heat.
    “All the scenes that weren't used in our picture came over to you guys.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Thief’ With Bill Simmons, Sean Fennessey, and Chris Ryan · 1:15:06 · Sean Fennessey (0.50 sure it was them)
  2. craft (craft) · through Heat (1995), which they were tied to as what-if casting for Heat 2: Thief ⇒ Heat (the host's read). The diner scene's wide shot echoes Heat's, which never shows both guys.
    “Wide shot, some heat DNA, although in heat, they don't have, you never see the 2 guys”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Thief’ With Bill Simmons, Sean Fennessey, and Chris Ryan · 0:36:13 · Bill Simmons (0.60 sure it was them)
  3. lineage (lineage) · through Heat (1995), which they were tied to as what-if casting for Heat 2: Thief ⇒ Heat (the host's read). Thief is the notebook sketch for Mann's later work, with Heat sharing DNA.
    “the building blocks for what you wind up seeing in heat and collateral and Miami Vice in so many of his films to come.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Thief’ With Bill Simmons, Sean Fennessey, and Chris Ryan · 0:02:54 · Chris Ryan (0.50 sure it was them)

Drawn on by

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

Ambulance (2022): 1 line

  1. lineage (homage) · through Heat (1995), which they were tied to as what-if casting for Heat 2: Heat ⇒ Ambulance (the host's read). Chris says the first half of Ambulance is Michael Bay trying to make Heat, before the second half becomes a great chase movie.
    “The 1st half of this movie is basically like Michael Bay being like, I want to make heat.”
    The Big Picture · The 2022 Movie Draft · 1:06:53 · Chris Ryan (0.80 sure it was them)

Michael Mann: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Heat (1995), which they were tied to as what-if casting for Heat 2: Heat ⇒ Michael Mann (the maker said so: Mann publicly talking about it). Mann has said he wants to adapt his Heat novel as a sequel and prequel to Heat.
    “he's been publicly talking about his desire to find a way to adapt his novel of heat to the sequel and prequel to heat.”

What was said about them, by kind

career (2)

  1. career (career): Ex Machina → Oscar Isaac. Ex Machina launched Oscar Isaac to the top of the A-list, a rare thing a film can do.
    “He just jumped to the top of the A-list.”
    The Big Picture · Top Five Gen X Director Debuts, the Fate of ‘Black Widow,’ and a Potential Oscars Disaster · 0:46:16 · Brian Koppelman (0.80 sure it was them)
  2. career (career): David Krumholtz → Oscar Isaac. The riff holds that Krumholtz's career was taken by Oscar Isaac, who was 5% less Jewish.
    “And Oscar Isa was like, what if 5% less Jewish?”

industry (1)

  1. industry (industry): Moon Knight → Oscar Isaac. Moon Knight with Oscar Isaac feels like it should be a movie rather than a TV series.
    “Isn't it weird that they did Moon Knight with Oscar Isaac and they're just kind of pooping it out next week on television?”
