    Nice puzzle, some of these were hard!

      Had some issues with my solve; let me know if you want feedback.
      In the 18A clue I think the second reference to 38A should be 39A.

        Yeah, that was a typo, I will fix that

        Bottom right had a lot of entries I wasn't sure of and didn't have enough info from crosses (22A 39A 20D 23D 24D 35D); 39A/35D in particular is unclear. A few words like those are fine, but I'd try to avoid too many in one place. I like the theme though!
