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.

No line says they, or a film of theirs, drew on anything.

Drawn on by

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

Alien 3 (1992): 1 line

lineage (homage (scene)) · through Psycho (1960), which they acted in: Psycho ⇒ Alien 3 (the host's read). Charles Dance's shower-curtain death is read as Fincher's own 'Hitchcock moment', after a cast member said Fincher called it that; the Psycho identification is the speaker's.
“Fincher would talk to him about his influence and be like, well, this is my Hitchcock moment.”

Mission: Impossible (1996): 1 line

lineage (Hitchcock structural homage) · through Psycho (1960), which they acted in: Psycho ⇒ Mission: Impossible (the host's read). Killing off Kristin Scott Thomas's star-billed character early mirrors Psycho killing Janet Leigh.
“it's completely Hitchcocky and it's killing Janet Lee after 40 minutes.”
