Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is a movie
Well, I know I've bitten off slightly more than I can chew with this one, which is why I'm running it as a "week 4". But I think I've left you enough to find your way to the meta answer, which is a movie. And let's do the prize thing again! If you check the box during submission, your name will go into the draw for the latest MOAT pack, the MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands. Answer & explanation: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=183071#p183071
Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here: https://www.ephesusscroll.com/about/interest4.html. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta!
