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.

Election (1999): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Easy A (2010), which they directed: Election ⇒ Easy A (the host's read). Olive's unbothered, stronger-than-the-bully stance continues the Tracy Flick character through Book Smart's Beanie Feldstein.
    “the Tracy Flick character that we have seen just grow and grow all the way up to like the most recently book smart with Beanie Felsian's character.”

Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Easy A (2010), which they directed: Ferris Bueller's Day Off ⇒ Easy A (the maker said so). Director Will Gluck has said Ferris Bueller is his favorite movie, and Olive's Mohawk and guitar bits echo it.

John Hughes: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Easy A (2010), which they directed: John Hughes ⇒ Easy A (the host's read). Easy A is in open dialogue with Hughes: Olive says her life is not a John Hughes movie and the finale has a Hughes montage.
    “But also she, like, literally says in the dialogue, my life isn't a John Hughes movie.”

One Tree Hill: 1 line

  1. craft (craft) · through Easy A (2010), which they directed: One Tree Hill ⇒ Easy A (the host's read). The webcam broadcasting echoes Peyton on One Tree Hill, so there was a precedent.
    “There's 2 pieces of this movie that have strong callbacks to one Tree Hill.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Easy A’ With Juliet Litman, Amanda Dobbins, and Shea Serrano · 0:47:17 · Juliet Litman (0.60 sure it was them)

The Scarlet Letter (Demi Moore version): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Easy A (2010), which they directed: The Scarlet Letter (Demi Moore version) ⇒ Easy A (the host's read). The movie nods to the Scarlet Letter and its puritanical heritage; Olive jokes about watching the Demi Moore version.
    “does its best or at least at times nods to the Scarlet letter and kind of like, you know, the puritanical heritage”

The Social Network (2010): 1 line

  1. people (casting led to) · through Friends with Benefits, which they directed: The Social Network ⇒ Friends with Benefits (the host's read). Pascal watched The Social Network early and committed to more Timberlake pictures.
    “It's like Pascal watches this movie early and it's like, you know what? 'm wrong. Justin Timberlake, we're all in.”

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

Emma Stone: 1 line

  1. verdict (verdict) · through Easy A (2010), which they directed: Easy A ⇒ Emma Stone (the host's read). Easy A isn't Stone's peak, but she doesn't reach it without this movie.
    “it's not technically her Apex Mountain, but she doesn't get to her Apex Mountain without this movie.”
