Walker gives me Chris Jamal Evans and Vishawn Jarvis (iykyk) vibes, especially with one of the beginning scenes with the peach cobbler (I imagined Chris Evans in the Vishawn sweater eating the peach cobbler and thinking about Aja OR devouring Aja like they devoured the cobbler), and I was LIVING for it.
The 3rd act conflict? Hated it. The resolution to the conflict? Loved it.
