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.

Ken Russell: 1 line

  1. lineage (spiritual forebear) · through Tár (2022), which they directed: Ken Russell ⇒ Tár (the host's read). Russell's melodramatic operatic composer biopics like Mahler are a Tar precursor.
    “He made a lot of, um, uh, like melodramatic, stylish operatic recreations of composers lives, like Mahler.”

Leonard Bernstein: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Tár (2022), which they directed: Leonard Bernstein ⇒ Tár (the host's read). Tim asks whether the hosts joked that Tar was about Bernstein conducting Mahler in the church; Sean answers that it was inspired by his work.
    “Mad Tar must have been about Bernstein doing the Mahler in the church, right?”
    The Big Picture · Physical Media Strikes Back With Tim Simons · 1:12:20 · Tim Simons (0.60 sure it was them)

Mahler (1974): 1 line

  1. lineage (precursor) · through Tár (2022), which they directed: Mahler ⇒ Tár (the host's read). Ken Russell's composer-life films like Mahler are a precursor to Tar.
    “It is kind of a tar precursor.”
