What the speakers say drew on it, marked the same way.

Easy A: 1 line the host's read ×1

  1. lineage (lineage): Election ⇒ Easy A (the host's read). Olive's unbothered, stronger-than-the-bully stance continues the Tracy Flick character through Book Smart's Beanie Feldstein.
    “the Tracy Flick character that we have seen just grow and grow all the way up to like the most recently book smart with Beanie Felsian's character.”

Addicted to Love: 1 line career ×1

  1. career (career arc): Addicted to Love → Election. Broderick's 90s search for a new persona (Godzilla, Inspector Gadget, Addicted to Love) ends when Election cracks it.
    “And then election is how he like closes out the decade where he's like, you fucking cracked it.”

Mean Girls: 1 line lineage ×1
