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.

Goodfellas (1990): 1 line

  1. unmapped (borrowing) · through A Bronx Tale (1993), which they scored: Goodfellas ⇒ A Bronx Tale (the host's read). The bar-introduction scene of nicknamed mobsters is called a borderline Goodfellas ripoff.
    “Meeting everyone in the bar, which is just a borderline Goodfellas ripoff.”

The Sopranos (1999): 1 line

  1. lineage (influence) · through A Bronx Tale (1993), which they scored: A Bronx Tale ⇒ The Sopranos (the host's read). Ryan argues A Bronx Tale influenced The Sopranos more than any other movie, with Sonny and Tony Soprano close in how they hold the neighborhood.
    “I think Bronx Tale... influenced the Sopranos more than any other movie, but I don't think people think that.”
