NYT Crossword Puzzle 10-26-21 Complete (contains spoilers)

I pulled out 48A Sniffed (around): NOSED because I had originally and for a long time had CASED there instead. Why wasn’t it CASED? Other than that because it was NOSED. I get the nosed-sniffed link, but meh. That slowed me down a whole bunch.

Theme!

20A Basic, practical details: NUTSANDBOLTS.
34A What expensive things cost: ANARMANDALEG.
42A Magnet for criticism: LIGHTNINGROD.

58A Doctor whose shopping list might include 20-, 34- and 42-Across?: FRANKENSTEIN. Right before the world shut down, Calah and I saw a version of Frankenstein at The Wallis in Beverly Hills. This version of Frankenstein was done by Four Larks. It was unexpected in its level of interpretation and executed exactly as intended.

Finished this one in 12:31.
