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.

Blades of Glory (2007): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · them, directly: Blades of Glory ⇒ Jay-Z (the host's read). A host notes the Jay-Z and Kanye album Watch the Throne opens by clipping Blades of Glory.
    “think about watch the throne. literally starts by clipping Blades of Glory.”
    The Rewatchables · 'Talladega Nights' With Craig Horlbeck, Danny Heifetz, and Danny Kelly · 0:32:54 · Danny Heifetz (0.40 sure it was them)

MTV: 1 line

  1. industry (industry) · through Miami Vice (1984), which they scored: MTV ⇒ Miami Vice (the host's read). The show began as the legendary 'MTV cops' pitch from an NBC executive.
    “he wrote a brainstorming memo that read MTV cops.”
    Blank Check with Griffin & David · Miami Vice - Pilot Episode · 0:13:46 · Griffin Newman (0.40 sure it was them)

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006): 1 line

  1. industry (industry) · them, directly: Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby ⇒ Jay-Z (the host's read). A host theorizes the Jay-Z and Beyonce song "Apeshit" (video shot in the Louvre) only exists because this film made "ape shit" a thing.
    “I do not think that Beyonce and Jay-Z make a song called Apeshit without this movie.”
    The Rewatchables · 'Talladega Nights' With Craig Horlbeck, Danny Heifetz, and Danny Kelly · 0:33:15 · Danny Heifetz (0.40 sure it was them)

Drawn on by

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

ER (1994): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Miami Vice (1984), which they scored: Miami Vice ⇒ ER (the host's read). Miami Vice's influence made TV look like Mann movies; ER's steadicam is where that finishes.
    “An ER, you've got steady cam shots and that's when it's really done and dusted.”
