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.

Aliens (1986): 2 lines

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Alien: Covenant (2017), which they scored: Aliens ⇒ Alien: Covenant (the host's read). The shoulder-mounted GoPro cameras are carried over from the Marines in Aliens.

  2. lineage (lineage) · through Alien: Covenant (2017), which they scored: Aliens ⇒ Alien: Covenant (the host's read). The loader and airlock set piece homages the power loader fight in Aliens.
    “But something about this feels closer to the power loader fight.”

Alien (1979): 1 line

  1. craft (craft) · them, directly: Alien ⇒ Jed Kurzel (the host's read). Kurzel's score uses Jerry Goldsmith's notes from the first Alien but is its own thing.
    “it uses a lot of the Jerry Goldsmith notes”

Back to the Future Part II (1989): 1 line

  1. craft (craft) · through Alien: Covenant (2017), which they scored: Back to the Future Part II ⇒ Alien: Covenant (the host's read). The double-Fassbender effect is an old trick established by Zemeckis in Back to the Future II.
    “once again, shit established by Zameckis and back to the future too.”

Prometheus (2012): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Alien: Covenant (2017), which they scored: Prometheus ⇒ Alien: Covenant (the host's read). Covenant is half the Prometheus sequel Scott wanted and half a concession to a more normal Alien movie.
    “this is half, like Ridley Scott doing the Prometheus sequel he wanted to do and half”

The Martian (2015): 1 line

  1. industry (industry) · through Alien: Covenant (2017), which they scored: The Martian ⇒ Alien: Covenant (the host's read). The Martian's success gave Scott leverage to make an odder Alien film.
    “I forgot that the previous film to this is the Martian”
