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.

Lenny (1974): 1 line

  1. craft (structure) · through Star 80 (1983), which they were behind as studio head (Ladd Company/Warner Bros.), financier: Lenny ⇒ Star 80 (the host's read). Star 80's interview framing/superstructure echoes Lenny's, and Lenny is the origin of the Chevy-Chase-style voice.
    “This movie, you have the interview, this sort of superstructure that he loves so much”

Sweet Charity (1969): 1 line

  1. unmapped (technique) · through Star 80 (1983), which they were behind as studio head (Ladd Company/Warner Bros.), financier: Sweet Charity ⇒ Star 80 (the host's read). Fosse's choreographic insert/isolation technique reappears in Star 80, applied to ugly material.
    “There's even the, I mean, the whole fossy isolation of the body parts thing, right?”

Cold Hearted (Paula Abdul video): 1 line

  1. lineage (visual homage) · through All That Jazz (1979), which they were behind as backer: All That Jazz ⇒ Cold Hearted (Paula Abdul video) (the host's read). A host reads that Cold Hearted was inspired by All That Jazz, and another says it directly references it.

  1. lineage (cited influence) · through All That Jazz (1979), which they were behind as backer: All That Jazz ⇒ Seven (the maker said so). A host recalls a Fincher film the show covered where he cited All That Jazz as an inspiration for the look, maybe Seven.
    “where he cited how much of an inspiration all that jazz was for him for the look of the movie?”
