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.

Groundhog Day (1993): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Edge of Tomorrow (2014), which they acted in: Groundhog Day ⇒ Edge of Tomorrow (the host's read). The pitch is Groundhog Day as sci-fi action, and it keeps the loop while adding war stakes.
    “Doug Lyman is doing like an sci-fi action movie groundhog day with Tom Cruise”

The War of the Roses (1989): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Game of Thrones (2011), which they acted in: The War of the Roses ⇒ Game of Thrones (the host's read). The actual historical Wars of the Roses was a big inspiration for Game of Thrones.
    “Big inspiration for Game of Thrones.”

Drawn on by

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

Thor: The Dark World (2013): 1 line

  1. craft (craft) · through Game of Thrones (2011), which they acted in: Game of Thrones ⇒ Thor: The Dark World (the host's read). The film aims for a grounded, muddy fantasy in the Game of Thrones manner, away from Branagh's version.
    “We want to make a more grounded fantasy away from the bran off.”

Top Gun: Maverick (2022): 1 line

  1. career (career) · through Edge of Tomorrow (2014), which they acted in: Edge of Tomorrow ⇒ Top Gun: Maverick (the host's read). Edge cracked a new era of Cruise; Ethan Hunt and Maverick run on what he learned here.
    “That Maverick is really running on a lot of this.”
