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.

MTV: 1 line

  1. industry (industry) · through Miami Vice (1984), which they acted in: 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.”

The Castle of Cagliostro (1979): 1 line

  1. career (career sequence) · through Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1984), which they acted in: The Castle of Cagliostro ⇒ Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (the host's read). Cagliostro was poorly received by fans of the series, then Miyazaki struggled to get another film made, which led to the manga and then this film.
    “which is not well received, despite being a fucking awesome movie, because the fans thought it was too much of a departure from the series.”

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 acted in: 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.”

Warriors of the Wind: 1 line

  1. craft (mutilated edit) · through Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1984), which they acted in: Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind ⇒ Warriors of the Wind (the host's read). The 95 minute American cut dropped the environmental themes, renamed Nausicaä as Princess Zandra and turned the Ohmu into plain enemies.
    “the film basically turns into an action adventure movie where like the environmentalist themes are kind of gone.”
