@Mike As an exponent of clever wordplay *and* obscure movies, I figure any film about mathematics would need a super script.

I had to circle back more than once before my tenacity yielded any results. A round of applause for the Schlossbergs. What a fun, impressive puzzle!

I was a bit concerned when my first pass left the grid looking strikingly similar to when I started, but my blank stare soon faded. I'm new to NYT crosswords (not a total noob; ex WaPo subscriber), so I'm not sure if my time of 28:02 is respectable or not, although it seems pretty decent to me. One stumbling block was POLLIWOGS, for which I had GOLLIWOGS. Fans of CCR—I'm one—might recognize that word. It was the band's name before they became CCR, a useless piece of trivia that led me astray.
