NYT Crossword Puzzle 10-15-21 Complete (contains spoilers)

I pulled out 55A Kind of moment worth recording: KODAK because I feel like I wouldn’t have gotten this if I had been much younger. Does anyone still even say Kodak Moment? Is it relevant enough for hipsters to want to use the phrase? I feel like it would work fine in a Post Malone song. I mean, think about it:

I wish I could change myself
But I’m too broken
We looked so happy
In that Kodak Moment

I feel like there was a theme, but I’m uncertain. There were a bunch of quote clues.

17A “Losing some illusions … perhaps to acquire others,” per Virginia Woolf: GROWINGUP. So true.
30A Cutesy “I beg your pardon?”: EXSQUEEZEME.
34A “What a shocker”: BIGSURPRISE.
35A “Heaven forbid!”: GODIHOPENOT.
7D “Put a sock in it!”: SHUTYOURPIEHOLE.

Finished this one in 17:33.
