Talkin' 'bout Turtle

Over a divisive and culturally sketchy episode we talk about EA Sports (get in the game), get tongue tied, and beg Jerry Ferrara to appear on the show. Erik’s personal problems threaten to derail the show, but we manage to get things in order to taste test Entourage’s first foray into breakfast cereal.

Talkin’ ‘Bout Turtle bankroller Bill O’Donnell joins us to talk about possible occult Turtle subtext, fan mail, turtle soup, and the Bob Saget career renaissance, then we close things up with another chapter of Turtle Tales.

Shannon Campe of the forthcoming Stage of Fools podcast joins us to discuss calf implants, ponder what kind of male fantasy the show is, explore Shannon’s Piven Theater Workshop connection, analyze Entourage fashions, Jeremy Piven’s hair, and we take a dining tour of Los Angeles in Entourage Eats.

Then we cap it off with season 2’s first chapter of Turtle Tales.

Then we read from another installment of Entourage Masterpiece Theater.

And spoiler alert: this Entourage movie? Pretty great! It’s almost too good to be true!

Meanwhile, Andrew gets murderously serious about pizza, we learn maybe a little too much about Tobey Maguire and the posse he runs with, and we look to the past to check in with top critics Gillian […]

Erik sounds kinda different this week, I’m not sure if it’s just me or what. Regardless, he caved and watched Jimmy Neutron: Baby Boy Geniuses, and returning guests Claude and Zach got sucked in too. Next week will be more Entourage, I swear.

Claude joins us again for to talk cerebral about Turtle on topics such as the reality of entourages, acceptable locales in which to jerk it, and if Turtle is but Vince through a glass, darkly. We then wrap the season up with another installment and thorough deconstruction of Turtle Tales.

First timer Zach joins us to talk about simpler, more homophobic times, Adam Sandler, Netflix, wet chicks, and we serve up some Entourage eats in Hold the Grenier.

Dylan of A Talking ‘Cast?! joins us to lend her take on Turtle, his love of art, his erections, and Ari’s theoretical infidelity. Later, on another installment of His Secret War, Andrew speaks in tongues. The countdown to the premiere of the Entourage movie hastens! Visit our Kickstarter page and help get Andrew and Erik […]

Claude joins us this week as we help him figure out Entourage, we see if the grass is truly Grenier on the other side, and Erik debuts the first chapter of his seminal work, Turtle Tales.

Sit down with your mother and listen to today’s episode, in which Sammi of A Talking ‘Cast?! joins us to read excerpts from vintage Entourage reviews and participate in a thrilling dramatization of Entourage fan fiction in the premiere of Entourage Masterpiece Theatre.

Andrew and tag-in guest William barely record an episode for what barely counts as an episode of television. Vince goes on a talk show, that’s about it.

Andrew and Erik comb over episode 2 in this episode 2. Andrew gets too into character, a very special celebrity calls in, and we peer into an age of Entourage past in His Secret War: Stories from Entourage, and Beyond.

Join seasoned Entourage watchers Andrew and Erik as they begin their journey through every season of HBO’s popular adaptation of a Mark Wahlberg thing. Learn about about the lead characters, only become endeared to Ari, and imagine if Turtle was a sentient bag of garbage. Wait, you mean he isn’t? Artwork by the estimable Josh Hollis.
