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.

Amblin-era Spielberg films: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021), which they acted in: Amblin-era Spielberg films ⇒ Ghostbusters: Afterlife (the host's read). The kids-and-mom coming-of-age setup reads as Amblin or Ron Howard, though speaker says that is too generous.
    “a bit of an amblin, like Ron Howardy, early Spielberg kind of a movie.”

Ghostbusters (1984): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021), which they acted in: Ghostbusters ⇒ Ghostbusters: Afterlife (the host's read). Afterlife is a revival of the original series by Ivan Reitman's son, loaded with its mythology.
    “This is Jason Reitman's revivification of his father, Ivan Reitman's famed film series.”
    The Big Picture · ‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife,’ ‘Tick, Tick ... Boom!,' and Our Top Five Feel-Good Movies · 0:02:45 · Sean Fennessey (0.85 sure it was them)

Marvel's Avengers: 1 line

  1. industry (industry) · through Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021), which they acted in: Marvel's Avengers ⇒ Ghostbusters: Afterlife (the host's read). Afterlife and the 2016 film both chase the Marvel model of serialized connected stories to succeed at the box office.
    “trying to recreate what Marvel has done and just that's the only way you have success at the box office now is by latching onto that serialized story.”

Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens (2015): 1 line

  1. craft (craft) · through Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021), which they acted in: Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens ⇒ Ghostbusters: Afterlife (the host's read). Afterlife does what Force Awakens did, saving the old franchise's greatest hits for the back half.
    “It's basically trying to do the same thing that the Force Awakens did”

Fun items about them

  1. fun, about Tracy Letts: Sliding doors: if Pitt won in 2011, someone else might have won supporting in 2019, perhaps Tracy Letts for Ford v Ferrari.
    “maybe our friend Tracy Letts for Ford versus Ferrari could have gotten in there”
