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.

Alfred Hitchcock: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through The Truman Show (1998), which they acted in: Alfred Hitchcock ⇒ The Truman Show (the host's read). Same line: the premise is Frank Capra crossed with Hitchcock.
    “you basically take Frank Capra and Alpha Hitchcock and you put it together, and that's what this movie is.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘The Truman Show’ With Bill Simmons, Glen Powell, and Chris Ryan · 0:29:43 · unknown (0.40 sure it was them)

Frank Capra: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through The Truman Show (1998), which they acted in: Frank Capra ⇒ The Truman Show (the host's read). Nichol's idea is described as Capra plus Hitchcock combined.
    “you basically take Frank Capra and Alpha Hitchcock and you put it together, and that's what this movie is.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘The Truman Show’ With Bill Simmons, Glen Powell, and Chris Ryan · 0:29:43 · unknown (0.40 sure it was them)

Drawn on by

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

Survivor: 1 line

  1. industry (industry) · through The Truman Show (1998), which they acted in: The Truman Show ⇒ Survivor (the host's read). Truman Show weirdly kicked off reality TV, predating Survivor by a year or two.
    “This kind of weirdly kicked it off, like this predated by a year or two.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘The Truman Show’ With Bill Simmons, Glen Powell, and Chris Ryan · 0:12:44 · unknown (0.40 sure it was them)
