Draws on

Beowulf adaptations: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through The 13th Warrior (1999), which they wrote: Beowulf adaptations ⇒ The 13th Warrior (the host's read). The film is the Beowulf story told as Crichton's 'what was the real thing they were fighting' version.
    “Even going back to Crichton's original concept of like, what's the real story behind Beowulf?”

Michael Crichton: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through The 13th Warrior (1999), which they wrote: Michael Crichton ⇒ The 13th Warrior (the host's read). Lowery read the Crichton novel and found the film is the book almost scene for scene.
    “reading the book, I was like, this is pretty much just scene for scene exactly what's on screen.”

Shazam! (2019): 1 line

  1. craft (craft) · through Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), which they wrote: Terminator 2: Judgment Day ⇒ Shazam! (the host's read). Fennessey asks whether an effects shot echoes the T-1000 reassembling in Terminator 2; Sandberg agrees he references other films.
    “this is basically that shot in Terminator 2, when the T 1000 gets, you know, comes back together and rises up”
