Counting Crows

Made films the shows talk about.

Counted as composer, the making department they hold the most credits in. The films the hosts said they scored, which the two lists below run through too: Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (2026).

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.

A Clockwork Orange (1971): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (2026), which they scored: 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.”
    The Big Picture · The Final Girl Film Canon and ‘Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma’ With Gillian Anderson, Hannah Einbinder, and Jane Schoenbrun! · 0:22:08 · Adam Nayman (0.55 sure it was them)

Alien (1979): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (2026), which they scored: Alien ⇒ Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (the host's read). Ripley stripped to underwear at the end is a vulnerability beat that Miasma echoes.
    “Yes, it is echoed in Teenage Tech”
    The Big Picture · The Final Girl Film Canon and ‘Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma’ With Gillian Anderson, Hannah Einbinder, and Jane Schoenbrun! · 0:47:57 · Adam Nayman (0.50 sure it was them)

Friday the 13th (1980): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (2026), which they scored: Friday the 13th ⇒ Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (the host's read). The in-film franchise is very much Friday the 13th while also running through the paces of Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer.
    “It is very much Friday the 13th, but it's also gone through some of the same paces as Scream, and I know what you did last summer and things like that.”
    The Big Picture · The Final Girl Film Canon and ‘Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma’ With Gillian Anderson, Hannah Einbinder, and Jane Schoenbrun! · 0:21:40 · Adam Nayman (0.50 sure it was them)

Sleepaway Camp: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (2026), which they scored: Sleepaway Camp ⇒ Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (the maker said so: interviews with Jane). Sleepaway Camp is among the films in Miasma's DNA, along with Nightmare on Elm Street 2.
    “I think the movies that are in this movie's DNA or that have come up in interviews”
    The Big Picture · The Final Girl Film Canon and ‘Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma’ With Gillian Anderson, Hannah Einbinder, and Jane Schoenbrun! · 0:30:53 · Adam Nayman (0.50 sure it was them)

Sunset Boulevard: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (2026), which they scored: Sunset Boulevard ⇒ Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (the host's read). Billy is partly a Sunset Boulevard figure, which Anderson played with in costuming, and the film acknowledges the Norma Desmond comparison itself.
    “the Sunset Boulevard reference”

Fun items about them

  1. fun, about Counting Crows: Jane wrote the script after a big 2024 breakup, leaning on Counting Crows records, and ended up swapping Night Swimming for Long December in the key scene.
    “I wrote the script for nights swimming”
