Constructor's Note
This puzzle has it all - theme, grid art, bars, cross-referencing, gimmicks, rebus. As such, it's probably on the harder side.

    Nice one! I totally guessed to get the unches in ANYA, PREC, and PERI but somehow managed to get lucky on all three

      The unch I had to guess on was DERAIN because I wasn't familiar with EIDERS, heh.

        If you ever get the chance, 'The Queen's Gambit' and the Portuguese/African sauce are both worth checking out!

          It was either that or MOVIE YE, and 'Runaway' wasn't all that memorable!
