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.

Rafael Yglesias: 1 line

lineage (source) · through Fearless (1993), which they scored: Rafael Yglesias ⇒ Fearless (the host's read). Weir loved the unpublished-novel first-draft script, adapted by its own author.
“He adapts his own unpublished book.”
Blank Check with Griffin & David · Fearless with Timothy Simons · 1:11:17 · David Sims (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.

Tron: Legacy (2010): 1 line

craft (visual reference) · through Fearless (1993), which they scored: Fearless ⇒ Tron: Legacy (the host's read). The 1993 Bridges look was the reference for the de-aged CGI Bridges in Tron: Legacy.
“I believe that this was the main visual reference for creepy CGI Jeff Bridges and Tron Legacy.”

What was said about them, by kind

craft (1)

craft (music): Fearless → U2. Using U2's Where the Streets Have No Name in an unhinged crash context opened up the band for the speaker.
“using U2 in an unhinged context, it really like opened that band up in that that music for me in a new way.”
