Hi Berghill,

15d - You need to split the clue in two.

First part is the definition -"Draughts in US" (US spelling) then the second part is the wordplay - "premier's residence spoken of".

I believe 20a was a sequel in which Cage, Cusack, Malkovitch, etc, were going to attempt to not overact. Never got made.

Maybe that should be prequel. You know, I'd probably watch it if did exist.
