Industrial Light & Magic

Made films the shows talk about.

Counted as craft, the making department they hold the most credits in. The films the hosts said they worked on, which the two lists below run through too: Twister (1996). Count them as studio (1 film) instead.

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.

Industrial Light & Magic: 1 line, within their own work

  1. industry (industry) · through Twister (1996), which they worked on as visual effects; made the proof-of-concept clip: Industrial Light & Magic ⇒ Twister (the host's read). The movie was built out of an ILM proof-of-concept clip of a pickup truck driving toward a tornado.
    “It was a proof of concept clip from Industrial Light Magic”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Twister’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Van Lathan · 0:11:39 · Chris Ryan (0.50 sure it was them)

Jaws (1975): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Twister (1996), which they worked on as visual effects; made the proof-of-concept clip: Jaws ⇒ Twister (the host's read). Jonas is the Jaws-mayor archetype, a money-motivated antagonist that became a stock character in every movie.
    “The mayor in Jaws is the character that kind of pushes against our lead person.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Twister’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Van Lathan · 0:54:51 · Chris Ryan (0.50 sure it was them)

Jurassic Park (1993): 1 line

  1. industry (industry) · through Twister (1996), which they worked on as visual effects; made the proof-of-concept clip: Jurassic Park ⇒ Twister (the host's read). Marketing a disaster around unknown leads follows Jurassic Park, where Sam Neill and Laura Dern were known but not famous.
    “coming off of Jurassic Park where it was like Sam Neil and Laura Dern were like well-known, but not famous.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Twister’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Van Lathan · 1:53:21 · Chris Ryan (0.40 sure it was them)

Speed (1994): 1 line

  1. industry (industry) · through Twister (1996), which they worked on as visual effects; made the proof-of-concept clip: Speed ⇒ Twister (the host's read). Hollywood shifted after Speed; Twister marketed Paxton and others as future stars.
    “The one that changed it was speed.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Tombstone’ With Bill Simmons, Sean Fennessey, and Chris Ryan · 0:54:13 · Bill Simmons (0.40 sure it was them)

Drawn on by

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

Titanic (1997): 1 line

  1. industry (industry) · through Twister (1996), which they worked on as visual effects; made the proof-of-concept clip: Twister ⇒ Titanic (the host's read). Twister started a playbook of putting not-yet-A-list leads in a spectacle, which Titanic and later Star Wars followed.
    “It became a playbook for it.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Twister’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Van Lathan · 1:54:01 · Bill Simmons (0.40 sure it was them)

Twister (1996): 1 line, within their own work
