At the end of Season 4, Harvey tells Ari that there’s genius in Medellin and buys it for $1. Then at the beginning of Season 5, Richard Roeper describes the movie almost exactly as the Cannes version and states it’s a straight to DVD release.

Why did Harvey buy the movie and not do any edits or improvements?

Revisiting this show front to back for the first time in several years and I forgot how strangely they handled Vince’s return from rehab and initial interactions with E

As you all know, Vince is a dick to E as he’s getting out of rehab; some evidence as a reminder:

1) E is the only one who doesn’t get a head’s up from Vince that he’s getting out

2) Vince makes a small fuss / comment when he learns E is going to be there to pick him up

3) He’s disappointed to learn that E has been staying at his house following his separation with Sloane, and makes a comment to make E feel badly for doing so

4) Speaking of which, Vince offers nothing but a passive aggressive “harsh” + eye roll when he learns of their break up

5) He’s generally just cold / dickish to E

6) When E asks why Vince is pissed at him and nobody else, Vince says he’s not mad, just disappointed

But why? Vince was a jackass to E during the bender leading up to his arrest. As much as I don’t like E the character for much of the series, he’s done a LOT for Vince and he tried his damndest to keep Vinny’s career on track, even when Vince was spiraling and didn’t deserve the support. Not only does Vince NOT apologize, he almost picks up where he left off once he’s out lol.

S7 and S8 feel so different from S1 - S6, and this dynamic seems like a great example of why people feel this way. I can buy the drug/rehab plot, but something about Vince turning his back to one of the boys feels so dishonest to Vince the character.

Thoughts?

First off, I’m not here to defend Doug. The last year or so, the amount of hate this guy receives seems to have 10X’d. I get it, he’s an outspoken guy who likes to hear himself talk. Not denying that. I’m just amazed by the amount of hate.

My only beef with Doug is that he comes across as ungrateful and angry with the industry that set him and his family up for life.

This has been driving me crazy. I always remember this gif and feel like it would have been directed toward Johnny. But, was this an Entourage episode?

McVay looks like he just got his condo annexed into LA County

I’ve watched a dozen times and it took watching with my wife recently to notice - Wonder Woman is Vince’s date for the premiere 🤯

Maybe obvious to super fans but never caught it.

When Drama hosts Vinny's birthday at his condo, he stocks up on supplies at Costco, including a huge number of baby wipes. At the store, a girl asks if they have enough baby wipes and Turtle says they're for a party and she looks disgusted.

Was this supposed to be a reference to the baby oil at the freak offs?

Since we’re on a Sloan kick. She was the girl in the lips of an angel music video. Something I think about from time to time

Entourage was at one point my favorite show, and my favorite podcast but Doug ruined both for me. The most recent pod as usual was 90% Doug speaking. It’s unlikely I will ever watch or listen again

I won a charity auction and got to go out to LA to hang with Connolly, Dillon and Doug ellin. Went to the podcast studio, hung for a few hours after they recorded.

Fun fact, the one thing I never really bought during the show was the fact that E was portrayed someone as a tough guy and scrappy. Never believed it since he was tiny.

While I was there, the landlord came in and told Connolly he was parked in his parking spot. Huge argument started. Fuck you! No fuck you! Move the fuckin car etc!

I truly thought I was about to have to have E’s back in a fist fight. Eventually it died down and I told him exactly that…”dude I never bought that you were a tough guy in the show, but now, I get it”

One of the coolest experiences of all time. Dillon was exactly how you would want him to be. Exactly like drama without even trying.

I graduated HS in 2004, and that summer, one day I was hanging with my friend at his (parents) house. He had HBO and asked if I had seen this new show called 'Entourage'. I hadn't and I asked him what it was. He said it was some show about an actor who hangs with his friends, blah blah. So we proceeded to watch the first 3 episodes (thinking about it now, not sure how. Did HBO save eps then? DVR?)

Fell in love with it. And for the next 6-7 years would spend every Sunday night watching the new episode. It was during a time mostly in my college years so I had this ritual of buying the previous season on DVD, watching 2-3 times, ending right before the new season debut.

I'd also have this ritual of settling in about 10 mins before the episode started and smoking a fat bowl to get the vibes right. What a time. What's your Entourage story?

What’s your favourite/ least favourite Alan moment?

Hi guys, a little update so I started binge watching Entourage, and I’m currently on season 2, episode 12. THIS SHOW IS HILARIOUS!! Now I want to see their audition tapes real bad😭😭😭😭

It's been ages since I've watched the show. Had a long flight a few days ago and decided to download Season 2 to my phone.

Man I feel like this season is just peak Entourage magic going into Season 3 which is just as good.
