  1. fun, about Sorcerer: Saw Sorcerer four or five times in a year, one a red-shifted print at the New Beverly.
    “4 or 5 times this past year”
    The Big Picture · Physical Media Strikes Back With Tim Simons · 0:40:33 · Tim Simons (0.55 sure it was them)
  2. unmapped (color fix): Sorcerer → William Friedkin. If Friedkin were alive and the technology could restore the red-shifted print to the other reels' look, the speaker would be fine with it.
    “I think I would be okay with that because if it is like, oh, this is because of the degradation”
    The Big Picture · Physical Media Strikes Back With Tim Simons · 0:41:33 · Tim Simons (0.50 sure it was them)
  3. lineage (remake of a 40s/50s film): Sorcerer → Nightmare Alley. Both are remakes of films from earlier decades.
    “Also a remake of a film from the 40s and 50s.”
    The Big Picture · ‘Nightmare Alley’ and Our Favorite Films Noir, With Patton Oswalt! · 0:38:01 · Sean Fennessey (0.60 sure it was them)
  4. industry (box-office flop, future reassessment): Nightmare Alley → Sorcerer. Both bombed on release, Sorcerer under the summer of Star Wars, and Nightmare Alley will be reassessed the same way.
    “So this is going to be one of those movies that will be reassessed, I think, in the exact same way.”
    The Big Picture · ‘Nightmare Alley’ and Our Favorite Films Noir, With Patton Oswalt! · 0:38:05 · Patton Oswalt (0.70 sure it was them)
  5. programming (programming): Sorcerer → Raiders of the Lost Ark. They will do Sorcerer one day.
    “Source will probably do one day.”
    Blank Check with Griffin & David · Raiders of the Lost Ark with Brian Michael Bendis · 2:32:51 · unknown (0.40 sure it was them)
  6. contrast (contrast): Sorcerer → Raiders of the Lost Ark. Sorcerer, The Abyss and The Thing feel as difficult as they were to make; Raiders feels light despite a brutal shoot.
    “It is wild to me that Raiders in particular does not have that kind of weight to it.”
