So when EPIC puzzled me (and I did think of film as a possible definition), I looked at Internet Movie Database (what a site!). To my great surprise, a film named “Pi” came up. Knowing very little about films, I wrongly assumed it was well known. Eimi’s explanation (for which many thanks) is much better.

The racism in Big Brother idea is obviously irresistible, although I did check back and thought the wording sufficiently different.

With 26D, I can see how your interpretation works, but I read it as PI=very good in EC, the definition being “film”.

13A – you have seen this before: here.

26D – I thought this was a tiny bit unfair as Pi was a somewhat obscure film, although I have seen it. I must have been going through an art-cinema phase at the time.
