Episode #315 Contest: Family Movie

Hello solvers! There's a new contest puzzle from Fill Me In. I'll rate this one 1.1 bananas on a scale of 5 bananas. (Bananas has nothing to do with the puzzle, it's just a 1-to-5 scale we made up.)

The puzzle is called "Family Movie" and was constructed by me (Brian Cimmet). The solution to the puzzle is the name of a movie.

The crossword can be downloaded from here. You're welcome to solve, you're even welcome to join in the chatter about the puzzle -- but if you want to be eligible for a prize, you have to listen to the podcast for this week's password. The podcast can be found on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, our own website, or wherever you collect your podcasts.

Once you've solved the puzzle, submit your answer and this week's password by email to fmi@bemoresmarter.com. You can also contact us with any suggestions, questions, comments, or ideas. Thanks for playing along!

Nice one! Love that movie... now I want to bake something. :)

(...and no, I don't think that would be a spoiler... I'll post a recipe after the solution is posted.)

Can't you just print the .puz? That's what I do (I can't stand doing them online).
