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.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977): 1 line

theme (theme) · through E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982), which they acted in: Close Encounters of the Third Kind ⇒ E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (the host's read). Close Encounters sets a template for science fiction and for stories about families and divorce.
“It sets a different kind of template for science fiction storytelling, for stories about families, for stories about obsession, for stories about divorce”

Drawn on by

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

Starman (1984): 1 line

industry (studio rivalry / shadow) · through E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982), which they acted in: E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial ⇒ Starman (the host's read). Columbia chose Starman over Night Skies, which Universal turned into E.T., so Starman carried the stigma of the one that got away and then looked like a ripoff.
“Uh, so they let go of night skies and let Universal acquire and turnaround.”
Blank Check with Griffin & David · Starman with Katey Rich · 0:24:25 · David Sims (0.50 sure it was them)

Stranger Things: 1 line

lineage (lineage) · through E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982), which they acted in: E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial ⇒ Stranger Things (the host's read). E.T. has been so imitated, in films and TV like Stranger Things, that the original feels less rewarding.
“so many people have like basically based entire film franchises or television shows Stranger Things off of that”
The Big Picture · Steven Spielberg's Top 5 Movies With Bill Simmons and Chris Ryan | The Big Picture (Ep. 57) · 0:33:46 · unknown (0.50 sure it was them)
