Generally smooth and very fun puzzle, though I think it should have been edited to avoid that 35A/17D crossing.

A little annoying to find that “BANG!” is not accepted in the relevant squares (so this is not actually a rebus puzzle). Glad I at least checked that before burning time rechecking the rest of the puzzle.

Neither loved nor hated this (though the 36D/58A crossing of two semi-arcane proper nouns is a bit of an editing oversight). My (entirely self-caused, I came to realize) extreme frustration came in quadruple checking my answers when I thought I had finished and the clock was still running, and only on the fourth go-round, actually clicking on the rebuses and seeing that I had an obscured “I” after “YOUR” that was causing the problem! 11:39 — slowish for me but not insanely slow for me.
