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.

Anthony Burgess: 2 lines

  1. unmapped (book vs film) · through A Clockwork Orange (1971), which they were tied to as director attached to a planned adaptation: Anthony Burgess ⇒ A Clockwork Orange (the host's read). Reading the novel again, the speaker finds it almost the same as the film, dialogue and all.
    “The dialogue is, it's just unbelievable how little he changed”

  2. lineage (adaptation) · through A Clockwork Orange (1971), which they were tied to as director attached to a planned adaptation: Anthony Burgess ⇒ A Clockwork Orange (the host's read). The film adapts Burgess's novel, and Kubrick found he had to change very little.
    “Kubrick reads the book and is like, I didn't have to do much.”

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968): 1 line

  1. unmapped (self-reference) · through A Clockwork Orange (1971), which they were tied to as director attached to a planned adaptation: 2001: A Space Odyssey ⇒ A Clockwork Orange (the host's read). The record store scene shows the 2001 soundtrack, which the speakers read as Kubrick nodding at his own movie.
    “but he's kind of like being like, guys, I made that movie.”

  1. lineage (lineage) · through A Clockwork Orange (1971), which they were tied to as director attached to a planned adaptation: A Clockwork Orange ⇒ Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (the host's read). The contrapuntal needle drop descends from Singin' in the Rain in Clockwork Orange and Stuck in the Middle with You in Reservoir Dogs.
    “all the way back to singing in the rain in Clockwork Orange or stuck in the middle with you in, in, in, in Reservoir dogs.”

Tár (2022): 1 line

  1. lineage (spiritual forebear) · them, directly: Ken Russell ⇒ Tár (the host's read). Russell's melodramatic operatic composer biopics like Mahler are a Tar precursor.
