Sorry to subject you to ONERA, but I hope you liked the theme!

Haha that is great! As you can see I didn’t get it until I revealed some clues, though. Just stared at **’s** 😂

Ooh this might be the first time I stumped you! Most of my titles have hints in them unless I can't think of a way to subtly put one in :)

2 Good 2 Be True

I saw that when we reference other answers in our clues (and our comments), the answers are now highlighted, so I made a puzzle to celebrate the new feature! It was MUCH harder than I thought it would be to find four words that worked, but I think this does the job!

Awesome Joah! I'm glad you noticed the new feature and psyched you posted this to celebrate it 🎉🎉

Circular Reasoning

As far as themes go, this one's pretty niche, but I just finished watching the show and thought I'd make a small tribute to it.

Heh very tricky! Cool construction of the SECRET TUNNEL!

♫ Through the Mountain! ♫

Really clever! I liked CAPS and ERGO/OGRE (and obviously BARBARBAR)

What Happens in Vegas...

Mini Mini Two

Hah great puzzle Joah! I totally gave up on COLON and HYPHEN since I didn't know the movie - didn't get the joke until I finished solving!

Congratulations! This was very amusing--in a good way.

Out of Character

The crossing of 9-across and 3-down is a bit unfortunate, but they're technically >!two different words: its and it's!<. Hope the rest of the puzzle was enjoyable!

That didn't bother me one bit! Didn't even notice

Ah, *on the side of*!! I could not figure that out - no more solving before coffee. Great puzzle Joah!

On Guard!

Couldn't fit in a revealer, but hopefully you'll be able to figure out the theme from the note.

Nice one! I had *INDEPENDENCEDAY* in my head as the Will Smith film and kept trying to figure out how to fit that into 5 squares 🤣.

BLACK BEARD was the giveaway, though. Great puzzle!

INDEPENDENCE DAY would be a solid 15-letter answer. Now what could the rest of the theme be... FREE WILLY? 😂

Fun puzzle. Had PITCH without thinking I needed <BLACK>. It wasn’t until I got to <BLACK>BEARD that I realized BOzO was wrong (and what z?RRY should be).

Inked In

Another fun one! Tricky theme but nice once I got it!

Thrown for a Loop

What a superb design & theme! Nice one, Joah!

Fun grid design. Had some trouble with the non-theme clues (ZIPPER was a quick fill but I expected to see a 4D clue, like [Best type of traffic merge])

Yeah unfortunately it wouldn't let me clue 4-down because it's technically only one letter. Which was good because otherwise I would have had blank clues for 11-down and 15-down.
