    1A: originally this clue was a reference to the Pixar short film of the same name, which is very good if you haven’t seen it
    21A: the other notable “tridecology” that came up when I was trying to see if that was a word (jury’s still out) was The Land Before Time series, which actually got a 14th installment (making it a tetradecology, I guess). How the original 1988 film warranted a single sequel, much less 13, is beyond me.
    25A: stretchiest entry, really tried to spell it out in the clue
    34A: I’ve read embarrassingly little Shakespeare given my age, but I’m currently reading “Much Ado About Nothing” whose title is apparently a triple entendre
    39A: incidentally, there is a regency romance by Eva Devon called “Much Ado About Dukes”
    22D: if you have 20 minutes, Prof. Edward Frenkel does a good job explaining the hypothesis for Numberphile (according to me, non-mathematician)

      Wow! First, great puzzle with some very sparkly entries. And second, maybe the first time I've made it through without any assistance! Oh what a feeling.
