Wednesday, October 12, 2022 - We're GAGA about this crossword!

A fine midweek puzzle, Jean aced it, Mike ... jokered it, temporarily hung up in the top center of the grid by a combination of hubris and poor spelling, a dangerous mixture. Besides the theme (deets inside), there were numerous other fun clues - 2D, Foofaraws (which is just a delight to say), ADOS; 36D, Name hidden in paleontology, LEON (an undoubted disappointment to all the forgotten TOLOs of the world 🙄); and a host of others, that we dissect in today's episode.
