Hmmm, do we have the start of a new super group, "The Captain and Barbeeille". Fun journey after I finally saw it. Both of these gentlemen make fun puzzles, but as a duo they are dynamic. I say BOOM, KAPOW, Holy Metaverse Batman!

Hmm:

I'm torn. I mean the Dynamic Duo is probably more apt but, grow Tennille a few inches, slap a shirt on her, gray up her hair a bit, put a glass of bourbon in her hand and....
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

Wednesday Nudges

OMG! This morning has been very hectic and even a little frenetic.

I was rushing around and almost forgot to post the Nudges. That would have been classic!

Fortunately I didn't panic, and now I am no longer frantic. LOL!

Look for grid entries to which you can add "IC" to form new words.

The clue for 1A hints at the final answer.

Probably not sweetly crooning "Muskrat Love", then?

By the way, what IS Toni Tenille doing in that video?

I already have a Captain's hat, but I'd have to shop around a bit to find a suit like Daryl Dragon's. :D

I am just not "seeing" it yet. I agree with Woozy. I'm jealous of all those light bulbs flashing off in others' heads

Fantastic guys! Thanks
I’m ecstatic to be OTC. Kinda boring and claustrophobic there for so long, with nothing alcoholic to drink.
I’ll remedy that right now
