Thanks for the puzzle ozof, which I managed to complete despite knowing next to nothing about the theme! There are some nice clues here - I’d single out the wordplay idea of 8a, 10a, the wordplay of 11a (albeit the surface is a bit odd), 1d, 12d, 25d. SPOILERS IN REPLY…
I'm sure getting this many themed answers into a grid must have taken a lot of effort, and there were some very good clues. I agree with Conto about 8a and 10a and 7d was also a favourite. Spoilers in reply...
