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.

Herman Mankiewicz: 1 line

  1. unmapped (adapting lived experience) · through Citizen Kane (1941), which they were tied to as critic who alleged Welles wrote Bogdanovich's rebuttal: Herman Mankiewicz ⇒ Citizen Kane (the host's read). Sean says Citizen Kane is Welles adapting an experience Herman Mankiewicz had inside the Hearst circle.
    “so in a way, this is him adapting an experience that Herman Mankowitz had”

Susanna Moore: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through In the Cut (2003), which they were tied to as critic: Susanna Moore ⇒ In the Cut (the host's read). Campion had been developing the film since the mid-90s, when she read Moore's novel.
    “Campion had been working on this movie since the mid 90s when she read Susanna Moore's novel, which came out in 95.”

William Randolph Hearst: 1 line

  1. unmapped (subject) · through Citizen Kane (1941), which they were tied to as critic who alleged Welles wrote Bogdanovich's rebuttal: William Randolph Hearst ⇒ Citizen Kane (the host's read). Mankiewicz's script was a thinly veiled attack on his friend Hearst.
    “I'm going to make fun of my my pal, Jordan, you know, William Randall first.”

Mank (2020): 2 lines

  1. lineage (visual influence) · through Citizen Kane (1941), which they were tied to as critic who alleged Welles wrote Bogdanovich's rebuttal: Citizen Kane ⇒ Mank (the maker said so: David's interview with cinematographer Erik Messerschmidt). Messerschmidt told the interviewer he wanted low, deep-focus photography evoking Citizen Kane, not noir.
    “He's like, no, I want to do it low to the ground, lots of deep focus, evoking citizen Kane.”

  2. lineage (subject / source) · through Citizen Kane (1941), which they were tied to as critic who alleged Welles wrote Bogdanovich's rebuttal: Citizen Kane ⇒ Mank (the host's read). Mank is partly inspired by Pauline Kael's essay on who truly authored Citizen Kane.
    “it's in part inspired by that very famous Pauline Kale, story raising Kane, about the true authorship of Citizen Kane”

Oh Father (Madonna video): 1 line

  1. unmapped (tribute) · through Citizen Kane (1941), which they were tied to as critic who alleged Welles wrote Bogdanovich's rebuttal: Citizen Kane ⇒ Oh Father (Madonna video) (the host's read). Oh Father is called Fincher's first Citizen Kane tribute.
    “This was his 1st Citizen Kane tribute.”
