There, there...

Awesome. As a huuuuge JB fan, I had a far easier time with those clues than with the rest of the puzzle😅. Really a lot of fun! And you can do a sequel with a bunch of other great phrases!

The Godfather

Very nice! I liked the clue for HAPPYMEDIUM

I like SMALLPOTATO - but clue for 14D should be "bad" cholesterol? I also had exotic for ethnic so that area of the grid took me forever to figure out

You are correct about the cholesterol - I switched them around in my head.  Thanks for the correction!

Sizing Up

Excellent! The clues I had to pass up in the first go round popped right out on the second pass. Very intuitive and fun!

The Doctor Is In

Beautiful puzzle (and a wonderfully quick solve)

Great puzzle! And who doesn’t love Stevie Wonder?!

Really good puzzle. It was the right level of difficulty for me.  Thanks so much.

I'm Yours

I’ve got no excuse to not tell you how fun this puzzle was.. 😄

Great Crossword! Thanks! We had a nice time solving it!

You Can Quote Me!

Con? Vi?  Shah Jahan is rolling in his grave!  Great clue.

We loved the cryptic clues esspecally the usa! Great puzzle!

Finding Yourself

Per a test-solver:  "In 29A, the words that you think rhyme, don't exactly rhyme."  It was specifically mentioned that if I say "pin" and "pen" the same, I would hear them as rhyming.  Funny thing is that I had a friend in college who would make fun of me for EXACTLY that. Sorry!

Nice one! Heh I noticed what you mean about SQUINTPACKING but it didn't bother me

When I saw Kew Gardens, I thought it'd be about my hometown NYC. Should've known there'd be something more clever than that going on! Great theme.  Particularly HIDEANDSQUEAK. My 4 yo is going to love that when I tell it to him as a joke. Great puzzle!

Kew Gardens

I just wanted to try the Crosshare building interface, so I put up a 5x5 grid and had it auto fill.  When I saw 7A and 8A, I knew I had a theme!

Heh I have never seen Short Circuit but failing so hard at this puzzle made me want to 😂! LMK if you think of anything that could use improvement w/ the constructor! Feedback is especially appreciated when it comes from folks who have experience with other tools too.
