The theme seems a little weak today. It's MOVIEOFTHEWEEK, and there are three movies that have a day in the title. They are out of order (if you follow ISO 8601), and there are only three of them. I know that it's impossible to get all seven in a weekday grid, and so, ok, fine. Also, the clue for hte revealer is "1070s-'80s TV staple ..." but two of the three movies are from 1999 and 2003. Is that weird? Of course, there's the 1976 version of FREAKYFRIDAY too... why not reference that one?
BRAINSTEM (Body part connecting the cerebrum to the spinal cord) and NERDALERT ("Look at this guy spouting useless trivia!" are fun ones. CUSP (One of four on most molars) is a tough one for a Monday. And I tried the perhaps rather too obvious "god" for "Topic for an evangelical preacher" (SIN). Who knew?
LENGTHENS (Stretches out) and ESCAPEKEY (Aid for getting out of a computer jam) seemed a little meh, but CIRCA (Around, as in dates) and CAVERN (Stalactite site) were fun.
