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.

El Mariachi (1992): 1 line

  1. industry (industry) · through Donnie Darko (2001), which they were tied to as host/narrator: El Mariachi ⇒ Donnie Darko (the host's read). The 90s indie boom of low-budget hits like sex, lies and El Mariachi made Darko-type bets possible.
    “Thanks to a series of low budget hits, like sex lies and videotape and El Mariachi.”

Jessica Bendinger: 1 line

  1. theme (theme) · through Bring It On (2000), which they were tied to as host/narrator: Jessica Bendinger ⇒ Bring It On (the maker said so: her own interview, quoted on the show). Her hip hop journalism at Spin shaped the film's theme of white kids imitating black artists.
    “Years later, when she got into the world of cheerleading, she saw that pattern repeating itself.”

Zodiac (2007): 1 line

  1. people (casting) · through Donnie Darko (2001), which they were tied to as host/narrator: Donnie Darko ⇒ Zodiac (the host's read). Fincher liked Donnie Darko and had Gyllenhaal pegged for a while.
    “unsurprisingly, Fincher liked Donny Darko”
