SHMENDRICK

As indicated by the keywords, the first two answers to this flat differ by only their fourth letters, and the second two answers differ by only their second letters. (The answer words do not necessarily have the same number of letters as the keywords.)

Personal note from JA: I am SHMENDRICK - my nom de plume for The Enigma. This is the first - and so far - only flat that I have had published in The Enigma. (My thanks to TEKI, NPL flat editor, who greatly improved the keywords.)

I see a strange show
With granddaughter in tow.
The critic PROJECTED
The film's for PROTECTED.
But to my surprise,
What should have been FLIES
Turns out to be FRIES.
