Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword

Sunday, April 27, 2025 - Look out, here comes BRIDEZILLA 😀

• MP • Season 12 • Episode 82

In crossword circles, a debut answer is one that has never appeared in the grid before -- and they tend to bet quite interesting. Today, for instance, we had 33A, Food-centric broadcasts originating in South Korea, MUKBANGS (sounds intriguing); 65D, Periods of abstinence from TV, news, social platforms, etc., MEDIAFASTS (sounds like a focused Dandelion Break); and 111A, Some large structures for pet owners, CATCONDOS. All great answers,  cleverly clued, and part of an even greater crossword: we give it 5 squares on the JAMCR scale.

Show note imagery: The PENTAX 17, a film camera!!
