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.

Iron Man (2008): 2 lines

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Iron Man 3 (2013), which they acted in: Iron Man ⇒ Iron Man 3 (the host's read). The Iron Man trilogy is closed into a circle by the flashback to the party and Becca Hall and Pierce.
    “as individualistic as this movie is, it actually like... It's bringing the 1st 2 complete.”

  2. theme (theme) · through Iron Man 3 (2013), which they acted in: Iron Man ⇒ Iron Man 3 (the host's read). Iron Man 3 later parodies the Osama-type Mandarin expectation that Iron Man originally planned (Ten Rings leader, no magic).
    “And then Iron Man 3 wisely parodies that expectation.”

The Avengers (2012): 2 lines

  1. theme (theme) · through Iron Man 3 (2013), which they acted in: The Avengers ⇒ Iron Man 3 (the host's read). Stark's arc across three Iron Man films peaks in Iron Man 3, and Avengers lays the track for its PTSD.
    “Iron Man 3 is all him being unable to cope with the psychological like trauma of this.”

  2. lineage (lineage) · through Iron Man 3 (2013), which they acted in: The Avengers ⇒ Iron Man 3 (the host's read). Iron Man 3 works as a quasi-sequel to The Avengers because it deals with Tony's trauma of the portal and aliens.
    “Except it's it is a sort of quasi sequel to the Avengers in that it's dealing with the fact that he got sucked into a portal into space for a 2nd there.”

Fu Manchu (character): 1 line

  1. theme (theme) · through Iron Man 3 (2013), which they acted in: Fu Manchu (character) ⇒ Iron Man 3 (the host's read). The Mandarin is a Fu Manchu stereotype that Marvel could not play straight, so Kingsley's false-flag twist threads the needle.
    “Because the Mandarin is Fu Manchu.”

Infernal Affairs (2002): 1 line

  1. lineage (remake source) · through The Departed (2006), which they acted in: Infernal Affairs ⇒ The Departed (the host's read). The Departed is a remake of the Hong Kong film Infernal Affairs, which is tighter.
    “It was called Infernal Affairs, the Hark Kong one?”
    The Rewatchables · ‘The Departed’ With Bill Simmons and Chris Ryan · 0:59:09 · Chris Ryan (0.50 sure it was them)

Iron Man 2 (2010): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Iron Man 3 (2013), which they acted in: Iron Man 2 ⇒ Iron Man 3 (the host's read). Iron Man 2's failure forced something new, giving Shane Black room to make a better third film.
    “But also, that is why the 3rd one is good because the 2nd one was such a mistake that they were like, we don't know.”

Scarface (1983): 1 line

  1. lineage (homage) · through The Departed (2006), which they acted in: Scarface ⇒ The Departed (the host's read). The film has references to classic gangster films like the original Scarface that feel like pastiche.
    “there's a couple of references in this movie to classic gangster films like the original Scarface”
