Constructor's Note
This is my first US-style puzzle! It turned out a little larger than I intended as I realised just how tricky it is to fill in this kind of grid, compared to a UK-style puzzle. Themed answers are shaded. Feedback is much appreciated as I'd like to improve in this kind of crossword. Thanks.

    I have so many puzzles to get through that I never attempt any larger than a 15x15 😂 - but I revealed just to check out the theme set. Very cool idea for a theme!

      I'm impressed you attempt as many as you do!

      very fun puzzle with a nice theme! extremely impressive for a first US-style construction. almost had it, but put ADE for 73D 😖. one minor note, i think the 64A clue should be pluralized?

        Thanks! You're right, and I've corrected 64A.
