Jess Walter’s writing was definitely an interesting read and I felt like it was unlike any of the other readings that we have read thus far.

In fact‚ some people hear that name and eyes tend to roll. She’s been taken for a joke‚ stereotyped and unrecognized for her artistry but it’s good to note that she herself was an Executive-Producer for the album. I’m not going to make this about her or her personal life‚ all though it’s hard not to‚ but this album didn’t get half as

other one is a turning point is when the script reveal that Kalipe is a cripple in real life.
