What the speakers say it 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.

Popeye: 1 line the host's read ×1

  1. lineage (lineage): Popeye ⇒ Punch-Drunk Love (the host's read). Wesley says PTA's debt to Altman runs deep, down to the Shelley Duvall Popeye song used in Punch-Drunk Love.
    “the way that that Shelley Duval song from Popeye functions in punch trunk love”
