Taylor Kitch channeling his career ?
movie studio agents etc telling him he's the next big thing, the second coming Gambit, John Carter, Battleshit (to which this almost seemed a vague sequel) only to be at the centre of those bombs and sort of torn a new one/blamed
His role in AA almost seems a commentary on his Hollywood leading man career with Keaton having been his agent/mentor in hollywood (chewed him up spat him out when the movies bombed and now on to his latest younger recruit)
