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.

Oliver Stone: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Margin Call (2011), which they were tied to as offered a part, declined: Oliver Stone ⇒ Margin Call (the maker said so: Brian speaking about his own writing). Oliver Stone is as big an influence on Brian's dialogue as anybody but Mamet.
    “Oliver Stone's big an influence on the way that I write dialogue as anybody but Mammoth.”
    The Big Picture · Top Five Gen X Director Debuts, the Fate of ‘Black Widow,’ and a Potential Oscars Disaster · 1:09:43 · Brian Koppelman (0.65 sure it was them)

Drawn on by

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

Billions: 2 lines

  1. career (career) · through Margin Call (2011), which they were tied to as offered a part, declined: Margin Call ⇒ Billions (the maker said so: Koppelman, Billions co-creator, on the show). Koppelman says Margin Call reaffirmed how he and Dave had thought about these people, and made a hedge-fund story make more sense than a bank story.
    “margin call may be reaffirmed that the way Dave and I thought about these people, as we'd met them, was pretty much like the way a lot of them are”

  2. lineage (lineage) · through Margin Call (2011), which they were tied to as offered a part, declined: Margin Call ⇒ Billions (the maker said so: Koppelman, Billions co-creator, on the show). Koppelman says the borrowed lesson is that Margin Call does not speak down to the viewer.
    “this movie doesn't speak down to the viewer”

theme (1)

  1. theme (theme): Billy Crudup → Alien: Covenant. Crudup's calm comes from faith, not programming, so he plays an Android-like leader without being one.
