Made films the shows talk about.

Counted as other. The films the hosts said they were tied to, which the two lists below run through too: The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020).

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.

Steven Spielberg: 1 line

  1. people (people) · through The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020), which they were tied to as band the speaker says the film's protest moments should sound like (not in the film): Steven Spielberg ⇒ The Trial of the Chicago 7 (the host's read). Spielberg long wanted to make it and encouraged Sorkin to write the script.
    “Steven Spielberg had always wanted to make this movie.”
    The Big Picture · Aaron Sorkin Top 5s and ‘The Trial of the Chicago 7’ · 1:31:53 · Sean Fennessey (0.80 sure it was them)

Drawn on by

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

Punishment Park: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020), which they were tied to as band the speaker says the film's protest moments should sound like (not in the film): The Trial of the Chicago 7 ⇒ Punishment Park (the host's read). Punishment Park is recommended as a very loose take on this trial.
    “There's this great movie called Punishment Park that I would recommend to anybody that is very loosely based on this trial.”

contrast (1)

  1. contrast (contrast): The Trial of the Chicago 7 → MC5. The film's mix of faux-60s rock guitar and syrupy film score is faulted; MC5 is what the moment really sounded like and what a radical protester listened to.
    “he has this like simulacra, like 60s rock and roll score where there's like electric tar combined with this very syrupy film music score.”
    The Big Picture · Aaron Sorkin Top 5s and ‘The Trial of the Chicago 7’ · 1:42:54 · Sean Fennessey (0.60 sure it was them)
