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.

Empire of the Sun (1987): 1 line

  1. lineage (inspiration) · through Tropic Thunder (2008), which they wrote: Empire of the Sun ⇒ Tropic Thunder (the host's read). Ben Stiller, on the Empire set as a young actor, was inspired by actors playing at suffering to make Tropic Thunder two decades later.
    “Which, of course, this is one of this movie's greatest, like, lasting legacies is that this, this is what inspires Tropic Thunder.”

Hancock (2008): 1 line

  1. industry (industry) · through Iron Man 2 (2010), which they wrote: Hancock ⇒ Iron Man 2 (the host's read). The Demon in a Bottle alcoholism arc was dodged partly because Hancock had already done a drinking superhero two months after the first Iron Man.
    “Because Hancock comes out. 2 months after the 1st Iron Man.”

Drawn on by

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

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022): 1 line

  1. theme (character introduction) · through Iron Man 2 (2010), which they wrote: Iron Man 2 ⇒ Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (the host's read). Van says the MCU has introduced characters inside other movies before, like Black Widow in Iron Man 2.
    “Black Widow makes her a parent, her 1st appearance.”

Captain America: The First Avenger (2011): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Iron Man 2 (2010), which they wrote: Iron Man 2 ⇒ Captain America: The First Avenger (the host's read). The Stark Expo of the 1940s is the origin of the Expo seen in Iron Man 2, now as the full World's Fair version.
    “Like what we see in Iron Man 2, but now it's like the full like 40s World Fair version.”

Iron Man 3 (2013): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Iron Man 2 (2010), which they wrote: 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.”
