Hello friends. Another puzzle, this time a Crossword! (Kinda.)

Okay folks, I figured I’d give you more of a challenge this week. Something a lot more cryptic than you’re used to. Also, I’m going to be less generous with clues and corrections in the comments.
Below you’ll find a crossword grid, with all the clues for the grid entries. You won’t be given clue/answer locations: once you figure out the appropriate word, you’ll also have to figure out where it fits in the grid. When completed correctly, the circled letters will unscramble to reveal an appropriate thematic summation.
Good luck.
