It’s a *lot* of wordlist rescoring work, it turns out, but it pays out in grid smoothness big time, I’ve learned!

Haha, I do like that pairing side by side in this grid, too…

Hey, you put your name in enough hats, and eventually it’ll get drawn out of one of them, I guess…

Love both 40- and 52-Across…great expressions. 14-Across is a new term for me. I know 12-Down as a pretty ‘meh’ mid-80s movie with Robert Redford (RIP) and Debra Winger. I’m always impressed by how smooth your themeless grids are.
