Monday

I struggled with this - took longer than my average Wednesday puzzle, and 3x my typical Monday. Maybe a little too much trivia, or at least too much for me.

too much trivia! Never have I had to look up so many answers because I was stuck both ways. If you need that much trivia to fill your grid...

Didn't love this. Maybe just me. Probably due to what felt like an abundance of proper nouns (my achilles heel).
