Variety the spice of long adventure films? (5)
I believe the answer is:
epics
'long adventure films?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'variety the spice' is the wordplay.
'variety' indicates anagramming the letters.
'spice' anagrammed gives 'EPICS'.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for epics that I've seen before include "Long tales of heroic deeds" , "Long poems about great events" , "Spice up with adventurous poems or stories" , "Long narrative poems telling of deeds of heroes" .)
