    Fittingly, TWO of my favorite songs of theirs! Very fun and smooth grid, love the central stack with all themed entries.

          Not one but two They Might Be Giants references! Fun grid and clean, sparkling fill as always.

            Thank you! Are crossword constructors TMBG fans?? I had no idea... 😇
          • Bodegas 🤓3:26 · 2022-01-21T18:42:26.755Z
            That was fun! Love the clue for IRL. Also learned some new facts from the other clues. Well made.
            • Sommersmith constructor · 2022-01-21T22:10:22.202Z
              It's always fun when I can slip in interesting info without affecting the difficulty of the puzzle. Thanks for solving!

                  I could hear Danny DaVito (L.A. Confidential) in my ear, and wanted ONTHEQT so bad.
                  Really enjoyed it --- and two revealers!
                  • Sommersmith constructor · 2022-01-23T13:36:30.332Z
                    My wife solved this one with her co-workers and she said there was a sharp generational divide on that entry :)
                    Glad you enjoyed the puzzle!

                    I got stuck on Harold's partner - couldn't figure out how Harold and Maude could be considered a stoner movie. 🙃
                    • Sommersmith constructor · 2022-01-23T13:33:42.478Z
                      Ha! Someone needs to make a Schrödinger puzzle where KUMAR and MAUDE are both acceptable answers!
                    • FrankieHeck 🤓3:15 · 2022-01-23T14:34:19.303Z
                      Loved the puzzle! (And also love TMBG!)
                      • Sommersmith constructor · 2022-01-24T02:20:28.062Z

                        Very fun puzzle. I liked how you worked the two theme into so many clues (e.g. EMU). And the clue for IGLOO made me smile.
                        • Sommersmith constructor · 2022-01-24T02:19:41.766Z
                          Thank you! There weren't nearly as many theme references in the clues originally, so I'm glad I took a SECONDLOOK at the clues. :)
