How To Make It In America

Straight from HBO and the producers of Entourage comes ”How To Make It In America” . The first episode premiered last week with the Entourage Crew — Mark Wahlberg, Stephen Levinson, Rob Weiss and Julian Farino — executive producing. The production quality is high, you can watch the first episode again and again, the sets, the montages and the cinematography is beautiful.


This definitely has the taste of Entourage, and to any Entourage fan, I would highly recommend it — at the very least take it as a filler before Entourage comes back OR until you get sucked in! With the talents of Bryan Greenberg (see One Tree Hill), Victor Rasuk (see Lords Of Dogtown & Che), regular cameo appearances by Kid Cudi, and in episode 1 I have to mention the stunning Samaire Armstrong (ring a bell? She was Emily — Ari’s Assistant and Eric’s Ex!) keep your fingers crossed and maybe she’ll be a regular occurrence — these are just a few amongst other talents. Take a look at trailer below and download through iTunes! (Free for a Limited Time Only)

Episode 6 ‘Murphy’s Lie’ Review

I have to start of this review by quoting the scene between Ari Gold and his son:

Ari: What are you doing buddy?
Son: I’m waking you up with my mind!
Ari: Good work!

This really has to be crowned one of my favorite scenes and really started this five star Ari Gold episode.

E’s little apology was fuckin’ pathetic. That whole apology scene topped the vomitus moments between Sloan and Turtle in the first couple of episodes. Eric needs to get on with it! Can’t believe Ashley dumped him, should’ve been the other way round, although it would have to be Eric to get dumped like that.


Vince’s little escapade with another student hotty (UPDATE: it’s actually Tiffany Brouwer!, thanks Ana Lucasey..you’re all so hot! tssss!) and the dejavu pick-up line of ‘I’ve got 45 minutes to class, you wanna hang?’ working like a fuckin’ charm, pun intended. That was gold. And the fact that he was part of a sex tape was another wicked moment. Let’s hope it gets released in the show and is part of the storyline, maybe even have Paris Hilton giving our Vinnie some advice?!


Matt Letscher guest starring as the studio exec Dan Coakley (Koglin?!) was scary, he was one nasty son of a gun and don’t forget Steve Nash’s cameo, he looked like some mad rocker Ñ cool as.

As I said earlier, this was an Ari Gold five star episode. With quotes and quotes from Ari, it really needs no description:

Lizzie Grant: I was out working.
Ari Gold: Working who?
Lizzie Grant: Jon Stamos, and I signed him!
Ari Gold: With his pen or his cock?

You so much as eye fuck another agent in this building, I will deport you naked to the Taliban
Ari Gold to Lizzie

One in very few guys get that ‘have a Free Piece of Pussy Pass’, you my friend have it!
Ari Gold to Andrew Klein

I thought Drama and Jamie-lynn’s kissing scene was a bit of a downer since we knew it was going to happen last week, no doubt it was funny especially Turtle’s reaction, but otherwise it was just a bit ‘meh’. I think Vincent visiting college with Turtle was definitely more entertaining!

And now for rather limited music selection featured in this episode:

  • “It’s a feast” by Shawn Anthony
    [Vince, Turtle drive into UCLA]
  • “Going Steady ” by Death From Above 1979
    [Drama looking for Dan Coakley]
  • “Les Sauvages” by Les Sans Culottes
    [Vince in Dorm Room making the Sex Video]
  • “Reservoir Park” by The Dutchess & The Duke
    [End Credits]

The pick of the ‘twiviews’:

I did like Ashley on Entourage.. I hope they keep her, and bring Sloan more into the triangle..

Episode 6 ‘Murphy’s Lie’ Preview

The stories are finally developing with Episode 6 ‘Murphy’s Lie’ with Eric contemplating that job offer and being the good guy that he is, tries to apologize to Ashley over calling her Sloan. What should be one of the most hilarious scenes between Drama and Jamie-Lynn will I’m sure be a highlight, while Ari’s deteriorating relationship with his wife hits it’s heights with a surprising visit from Andrew Klein’s wife.



Vincent is again taking a back seat, but at least it looks like he’s getting regular sex. We all can’t wait till he starts making his Enzo movie, I mean that will just fuckin’ rock. And awesome to see Perrey Reeves having more action as the wonderful Mrs. Ari Gold.
In a recap of Episode 5 ‘Fore!’ Doug Ellin takes us behind-the-scenes again in what is an excellent upgrade from last years audio clips recaps. It is now the fifth in the series, and I hope HBO continues this in the following seasons. It’d be really cool to catch up with some of the other cast and crew as well, but maybe those will be on the DVD?! Anyway press play below for another intriguing insight into Doug Ellin’s world.



By the way ‘Murphy’s Lie’ is directed by Julian Farino, his first Entourage Episode this season, his last being the amazing cinematographic Season 5 Episode 5 ‘Tree Trippers’ which aired way back in October last year. So I think we should be in for a treat. We’ll have to wait and see!
