Ed Gein: 1 line

  1. lineage (real-life source) · through The Silence of the Lambs (1991), which they directed: Ed Gein ⇒ The Silence of the Lambs (the host's read). Ed Gein had a big Hollywood footprint; Silence of the Lambs and Manhunter touched on him.

    “Obviously, like Silence of the Lambs and the expanded Hannibal Lecter universe comes in the aftermath of this”

Panic Room (2002): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through The Silence of the Lambs (1991), which they directed: The Silence of the Lambs ⇒ Panic Room (the host's read). The switcheroo with the dad and Raoul is a little Silence of the Lambs homage.

    “also shot by Tak Fujimoto, Jonathan Demi's longtime cinematographer”
    The Big Picture · ‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife,’ ‘Tick, Tick ... Boom!,' and Our Top Five Feel-Good Movies · 0:44:45 · Sean Fennessey (0.60 sure it was them)

craft (1)

  1. craft (craft): Jonathan Demme → That Thing You Do!. Producer-pair Demme and Goetzman, cinematography by Fujimoto, score by Howard Shore make it a high-class studio picture.

    The Big Picture · ‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife,’ ‘Tick, Tick ... Boom!,' and Our Top Five Feel-Good Movies · 0:44:45 · Amanda Dobbins (0.50 sure it was them)

lineage (1)

  1. lineage (lineage): Hard Eight (Sydney) → Jonathan Demme. The into-camera close-ups in the diner are Demme-like; it is like Scorsese and Demme together.

programming (1)

  1. programming (programming): Fritz Lang → Jonathan Demme. Lang was a bracket entry like Demme: a filmography they feared was too long for people to want.
    “He was a guy much like Jonathan Demi, where we were like, that might be a little bit too long for that guy.”
