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.

Singin' in the Rain (1952): 5 lines

  1. craft (scene mirror) · through Babylon (2022), which they were tied to as originally cast in the Margot Robbie role: Singin' in the Rain ⇒ Babylon (the host's read). Babylon's walk-on bar scene mirrors the flashback that opens Singin' in the Rain, where Don Lockwood gets a walk-on.
    “Um, Don Lockwood gets a walk on part in a bar in that like in that flashback to start the movie.”

  2. lineage (homage) · through Babylon (2022), which they were tied to as originally cast in the Margot Robbie role: Singin' in the Rain ⇒ Babylon (the host's read). A speaker calls the sound-stage scene a direct Singin' in the Rain homage, 'on steroids times a 1000'.

  3. theme (echo) · through Babylon (2022), which they were tied to as originally cast in the Margot Robbie role: Singin' in the Rain ⇒ Babylon (the host's read). The silent-to-sound struggle scene in Babylon echoes Singin' in the Rain, down to the actress who cannot find the microphone.
    “And that is a huge echo of singing in the rain.”

  5. lineage (homage) · through Babylon (2022), which they were tied to as originally cast in the Margot Robbie role: Singin' in the Rain ⇒ Babylon (the host's read). The speaker says Babylon is deliberately built around Singin' in the Rain, with specific scenes mirrored on purpose.
    “But it is so intentionally built around singing in the rain that I do think the mirroring of the specific scenes are intentional.”

John Gilbert: 1 line

  1. unmapped (real-life basis) · through Babylon (2022), which they were tied to as originally cast in the Margot Robbie role: John Gilbert ⇒ Babylon (the host's read). Brad Pitt's character in Babylon is obviously based on John Gilbert.

La La Land (2016): 1 line

  1. craft (score reuse) · through Babylon (2022), which they were tied to as originally cast in the Margot Robbie role: La La Land ⇒ Babylon (the host's read). The Babylon score is said to reappropriate music from La La Land's dream ballet.

The Dancing Cavalier (film-within-Singin' in the Rain; heard also as 'link cavalier'): 1 line

The audience in Babylon's screening laughs at the same dialogue ('I love you') as in Singin' in the Rain's screening of The Dancing Cavalier.

Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021): 1 line

  1. lineage (series lineage) · through Babylon (2022), which they were tied to as originally cast in the Margot Robbie role: Zack Snyder's Justice League ⇒ Babylon (the maker said so: the hosts' own account of the show). The Snyder Cut watch-along, born of a lost bet, started the show's watch-along concept that led to this one.
    “The Snyder, the Snyder Cut thing was a bet that we lost, that Sean was like, if that, that's how the watch along concept started.”
