“Film starring Richard Gere” is the clue for a movie that has the same pattern as the starred answers. Which film is it?

Fun puzzle—solved.

Since I'm absolutely gobsmacked to see them in a major sunday grid, hit the thumbs up on this post if you've ever heard of 23 across. That's maybe in my 50 or so favorite albums of all time...

Totally forgot about this one until I noticed when solving today's puzzle that it wasn't marked as done in my browser. Loved it!

Good luck, fellow Muggles!

The March 14 WaPo puzzle by Evan is not a meta, but an incredible themed crossword that has it’s share of aha moments. Highly recommended!

I much preferred to solve it electronically, but with the pdf handy to remind me where there are supposed to be quadruple-sized squares rather than four normal ones.

I agree. As the note on the PUZ file suggested, I did look at the PDF to understand what was up, but then solved electronically.
Nice AHAs in the solve.
