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.

Guardians of the Galaxy (2014): 2 lines

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Captain Marvel (2019), which they scored: Guardians of the Galaxy ⇒ Captain Marvel (the host's read). As a prequel, Captain Marvel brings back Guardians characters Ronan (Lee Pace) and Korath (Djimon Hounsou).
    “this is, of course, a prequel, so their characters appear in this film again.”

  2. craft (craft) · through Captain Marvel (2019), which they scored: Guardians of the Galaxy ⇒ Captain Marvel (the host's read). The Flarkin cat in Captain Marvel is a version of the Drax metaphor joke, but this film's joke lands better thanks to the cut to his face.
    “And you know, you know, the cat in Captain Marvel is like a version of this joke.”

Batman Forever (1995): 1 line

  1. craft (craft) · through Captain Marvel (2019), which they scored: Batman Forever ⇒ Captain Marvel (the host's read). The prosthetic-ears-and-face-paint alien look recalls the trashy 1990s comic book movies, specifically Batman Forever.
    “It felt a little bit like Batman forever at times where I was like, that guy is definitely just wearing face paint.”

Captain America: The First Avenger (2011): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Captain Marvel (2019), which they scored: Captain America: The First Avenger ⇒ Captain Marvel (the host's read). The film goes back to the Steve Rogers style of origin story.

Pulp Fiction (1994): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Captain Marvel (2019), which they scored: Pulp Fiction ⇒ Captain Marvel (the host's read). Samuel L. Jackson driving around mid-90s Los Angeles evokes Jules Winfield, a clever but surface 90s nod.
    “a Samuel L. Jackson character in the mid 90s driving around in a car in Los Angeles, a la Jules Winfield in Pulp Fiction.”

The Avengers (2012): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Captain Marvel (2019), which they scored: The Avengers ⇒ Captain Marvel (the host's read). The Tesseract, the glowing box, was a MacGuffin in the first Avengers and in Infinity War.
    “you may remember the Tesseract from the 1st Avengers film, and then, of course, the most recent Avengers film, Avengers Infinity War”
