SILENT FILM STAR by Park and Eisenberg
Brian has farmed out the puzzle this week to the pair of Kate Chin Park and Will Eisenberg. I did not love the grid (too much for me to Google) but the meta was fun, although the process has been used multiple times in the past.

Filled it in (mostly.)
Yes, I have a formula that relates the number of times I have to google to the years younger the constructors are than I am!
If you're looking for a link to the puzzle, I think this one on the FB page should do it --

Got it. Although I'm pretty sure my Google bill will exceed my utility bill this month. LOL

Thanks for the link, @whimsy ! I've never done one of these "Fill Me In" puzzles before. I can't wait to try some of these "current" slang phrases on my nephew and his buddies.
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

Cool. Got it. Up my alley. Loved it.
I guess I should change my signature, and start promoting this meta: Hungry Little Creature. I was going to sent it to people for testing but I dropped the ball on it.

Got it, after confirming something on Google.
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta!

Some stretchy cluing that I enjoyed, except for one nasty crosser at 39-D and 49-A. I'm classifying that as a NeoNatick.
The meta put me in the Christmas spirit, particularly last year's.

That's one of my blank squares. The other is 35Ax22D.
But I got the meta anyway. Now just need to get to the password. I'm way behind in podcast listening but should get to this before the deadline.
I never did figure out the previous FMI meta (and also haven't heard it on the podcast yet either, so I should take another look.)
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.
(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

Fun puzzle. And I think I have it with a bit of a quibble. Not a quibble that would stand up in court but a quibble.
Anyway.... kids these days.

Oh, wait. I had no idea this thread was as old as it was.
So I don't feel bad about stating my spoiler quibble:
