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.

Ed Gein: 1 line

  1. lineage (real-life source) · through The Silence of the Lambs (1991), which they acted in: Ed Gein ⇒ The Silence of the Lambs (the host's read). Ed Gein had a big Hollywood footprint; Silence of the Lambs and Manhunter touched on him.
    “A lot of people, silence the lambs, touched on Ed Geen.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘The Texas Chain Saw Massacre’ With Bill Simmons and Chris Ryan · 0:19:05 · Bill Simmons (0.50 sure it was them)

Manhunter (1986): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through The Silence of the Lambs (1991), which they acted in: Manhunter ⇒ The Silence of the Lambs (the host's read). Silence of the Lambs and the Hannibal Lecter universe come in the aftermath of Manhunter.
    “Obviously, like Silence of the Lambs and the expanded Hannibal Lecter universe comes in the aftermath of this”
    The Big Picture · ‘Ferrari’ and Top Five Michael Mann Movies · 0:49:26 · Sean Fennessey (0.60 sure it was them)

Roger Corman film: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through The Fast and the Furious (2001), which they acted in: Roger Corman film ⇒ The Fast and the Furious (the host's read). The first film borrowed its title from a 1960s Corman exploitation movie.
    “it borrowed its title from a somewhat well-known Roger Corman exploitation movie from the 1960s”
    The Big Picture · ‘Fast 9’ and the ‘Fast & Furious’ Rankings · 0:08:08 · Sean Fennessey (0.90 sure it was them)

Drawn on by

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

Mission: Impossible (1996): 1 line

  1. lineage (franchise influence) · through The Fast and the Furious (2001), which they acted in: The Fast and the Furious ⇒ Mission: Impossible (the host's read). The modern MI films combine Bourne-style hand-to-hand combat with Fast and the Furious over-the-top action.
    “the 2 biggest influences on Mission Impossible are born in the Fast and the Furious.”
    The Rewatchables · 'Mission: Impossible' With Chris Ryan, Sean Fennessey, and Jason Concepcion · 0:18:47 · Sean Fennessey (0.40 sure it was them)

Panic Room (2002): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through The Silence of the Lambs (1991), which they acted in: The Silence of the Lambs ⇒ Panic Room (the host's read). The switcheroo with the dad and Raoul is a little Silence of the Lambs homage.
    “A little silence of lambs homage.”
