    alright... i dont get this one. I loved it, but I don't get the theme at all

      Hey! Thanks for solving and I'm glad you enjoyed. I'm pretty new at making puzzles so still figuring out what works and what doesn't And this was one of my first ones so I don't blame you for being confused. It's a little wonky in retrospect.
      The theme answers are HID and DEN. So it's a HIDDEN theme. The movie referenced is HIDDEN FIGURES which was about black female NASA mathematician Katherine Johnson (pictured above).
      The title is CHECK YOUR CORNERS and I reference "stemming from the corners" in 31A. If you go from each of the four corners diagonally you get: -- (FIGURE) IT OUT 🤔 -- (FIGURE) HEAD 🗿 -- (FIGURE) EIGHT ♾️ -- (FIGURE) SKATE ⛸️
      So there are "hidden figures." I tried to allude to it with the emojis, too.

        Ooooh I see now. Clever. Maybe some shaded boxes would've helped. Either way, I absolutely love your puzzles so I've just been going through your entire catalog. It's really cool to see your growth as a constructor from this one to your most recent (this is coming from someone who has never constructed a good puzzle).

          I think you're probably right. I'm sure I've seen words stemming from the corners like that before but it is a bit rare.
          And thank you so much! I really appreciate you saying that and solving the puzzles. Really means a lot.
