Wednesday, March 22, 2023 - Do us a FAVA and check out this FINE crossword

A FINE crossword, a debut, in fact, by Madeline Kaplan, with an interesting cinematic twist. Beyond the clues covered in the podcast, we would be remiss if we didn't mention 50D, March madness number (not 16, nor 8, nor 4, but ... SEED 😀); 55D, #s, NOS (a rarity, a clue with a hashtag!); and the relatively novel 60A, Attention-hoarding, say, NEEDY. But there are many more gems in the grid, so grab your loupe and your sluice box, and join us inside! We love feedback! Send us a text... Contact ...
