I'm pretty sure I know what the mechanism is but it's just not turning up anything... I'm beginning to wonder if I don't in fact know this movie (I do live under a rock).

FWIW, I would rate the chances that you don't know the movie as very low indeed.

I'm still searching for that MISSING SOMETHING... hoping to find it, or to get nudged out tomorrow. And I wouldn't be surprised if I don't know this movie, either. There are some mind-boggling gaps in my knowledge of pop culture.

Jay you have stumped me! I'll continue to bang my head against the wall since I got the music meta out of the way.

I had hoped to solve before the Zoom call tonight, but it's not going to happen. That said, this puzzle is obviously brilliant given the clue for 12D, which has given me some street cred with my kids - thanks, Jay!
Edit: I got it (as a result of joining the Zoom call!)

Off the couch after a late start. Really nice "aha" moment. Thanks, Jay!

Eleven more have left their respective couches and joined the solvers list. I’m given to understand that the regular Tuesday Muggles Zoom may have had something to do with this influx.

As for those who have not yet been heard from, maybe a few more nudges will help.
To save you the trouble of scrolling up, here are all the nudges old and new.

Solved, thanks to the Tuesday night Zoomers and some very broad hints from Bird Lives!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

Off the couch! I got into a rabbit hole I couldn’t escape, but was launched by the early nudge.
Thanks, Jay!
