Submitted. Quick but enjoyable. I find Matt's ability to create interesting puzzles at all difficulty levels to be amazing.
Happy to join Kay in the top 5.

Way to go, Kay!
As always, I'm so amazed that Matt is living in the same world I am yet notices things that he can turn into these puzzles, and also that the world provides the material to make them possible.

Is it "The Green Mile?" I was considering "That Thing You Do" but it was two too many letters.

1. Way to go, Kay! 2. A friend of mine used to belong to a cult that was sued by one of the answers in the crossword. 3. Beamed up at #119!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!
