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.

ABBA: 1 line

lineage (lineage) · through Mamma Mia! (2008), which they acted in: ABBA ⇒ Mamma Mia! (the host's read). The film is aesthetically and spiritually in tune with ABBA's incandescent, inescapable and stupid songs.
“It is a film that is very, like aesthetically and spiritually in tune with its source material, being the, like, incandescent, inescapable, wonderful, and also really stupid songs of ABBA.”

West Side Story (2021): 1 line

craft (craft) · through Mamma Mia! (2008), which they acted in: West Side Story ⇒ Mamma Mia! (the host's read). In Dancing Queen, Baranski and Streep's chiffon skirts allow one Jerome Robbins-style moment that echoes West Side Story.
“they do like one Jerome Robbins, like, uh, sachet moment.”
