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.

Casino Royale (2006): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Skyfall (2012), which they acted in: Casino Royale ⇒ Skyfall (the host's read). Skyfall is the payoff of the first Craig movie, where Vesper's betrayal shows Bond can feel.
    “it's also the ultimate payoff of what starts in the 1st Craig movie”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Skyfall’ With Chris Ryan, Sean Fennessey, and Amanda Dobbins · 0:12:29 · Sean Fennessey (0.45 sure it was them)

Christopher Nolan: 1 line

  1. industry (industry) · through Skyfall (2012), which they acted in: Christopher Nolan ⇒ Skyfall (the host's read). Bond producers wanted their own critically acclaimed thriller since Nolan was having all the fun with Bond-esque movies.
    “Let's do it ourselves.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Skyfall’ With Chris Ryan, Sean Fennessey, and Amanda Dobbins · 0:02:35 · Chris Ryan (0.80 sure it was them)

Dashiell Hammett: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Miller's Crossing (1990), which they acted in: Dashiell Hammett ⇒ Miller's Crossing (the host's read). The film is a take on 1930s-40s fast-talking noir rooted in Hammett.
    “unique take on, you know, 1930s and 40s fast talking noir movies, very much rooted in national Hammett”
    The Big Picture · The 1990 Movie Draft · 0:45:19 · Chris Ryan (0.85 sure it was them)

Forrest Gump (1994): 1 line

  1. unmapped (attempt at a Gump) · through Big Fish (2003), which they acted in: Forrest Gump ⇒ Big Fish (the host's read). Studios kept trying to replicate Gump; Big Fish was one attempt.
    “And Big Fish is an attempt at a gump.”
    Blank Check — Patreon · The Curious Case of Benjamin Button with Richard Lawson (Ad-Free) · 0:10:34 · unknown (0.30 sure it was them)

The Dark Knight (2008): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Skyfall (2012), which they acted in: The Dark Knight ⇒ Skyfall (the host's read). Mendes openly lifted the Dark Knight aesthetic and the orphan-avenging-sins idea.
    “Mendy's just very openly lifted a lot of the Dark Knight aesthetic for these movies.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Skyfall’ With Chris Ryan, Sean Fennessey, and Amanda Dobbins · 0:46:30 · Chris Ryan (0.60 sure it was them)

Creed (2015): 1 line

  1. industry (industry) · through Skyfall (2012), which they acted in: Skyfall ⇒ Creed (the host's read). Bringing a prestige director to a franchise leads to Coogler doing Creed and Black Panther.
    “It leads to things like Ryan Kugler does Creed in Black Panther”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Skyfall’ With Chris Ryan, Sean Fennessey, and Amanda Dobbins · 0:45:54 · Chris Ryan (0.40 sure it was them)

What was said about them, by kind

  1. lineage (lineage): Albert Finney → Clint Eastwood. Craig and Finney's 'men are coming to kill us' exchange is straight out of Eastwood.
    “That's like right out of Eastwood.”
