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.

Beowulf adaptations: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through The 13th Warrior (1999), which they were tied to as comedian (joked about as a hypothetical 13th warrior): 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 were tied to as comedian (joked about as a hypothetical 13th warrior): 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.”
