Episode 4 ‘Running On E’ Review

Ads by Google

Yeah baby, we got boobies! And I have to say this would have to be the best episode of the season, and up in my top ten…ehem…not just because of the boobs, but they were mos def beautiful.

This is the first episode directed by Ken Whittingham this season, so whether there was a difference because of him? I don’t know, but it sure was the best this season. With Vincent Chase again taking a bit of a back seat because his Enzo movie being delayed by 12 weeks, an extended vacation ensues. He tries his best to get E, Turtle and Drama to join him, but ends up with no one, albeit for a few hours till Eric decides to pull the plug on his business – The Murphy Group. This was disappointing, but does it really mean the end of E’s Murphy Group? Or just the office it was residing in? It would be a shame for E and Entourage to lose the Charlie storyline, as it was quite cool to have another up-and-coming star in the midst.


Ari Gold was trying to handle a barrage of situations from all sides, it was an Ari juggling act.. under pressure Ari is when he is at his best! Dealing with Andrew Klein was great, but even better was his face off with Andrew’s lover — Lizzie Grant, the junior agent at the Miller Gold Agency (played by Autumn Reeser). Damn girl, she’s one tough women! Is she a future threat to Ari?

The music featured was way fuckin’ cool, especially if you caught the tunes of Daft Punk, and the new crew Empire Of The Sun — Check out their awesome video clip above. Awesome job, music people! Here’s the list:

  • “Easin’ In” by Edwin Starr
    [E bored at the Murphy Group]
  • “Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop” by Young Gunz
    [E getting it on with Ashley, Drama with the models]
  • “Black Flag” by Duchess Says
    [Ari finds Andrew Klein balling]
  • “Something About Us” by Daft Punk [Boys reminiscing the day]
  • “Standing on the Shore” by Empire of the Sun
    [Final Scene]


Vincent Chase going on Facebook and stalkin’ his old classmates (Kimberley Kirsch?!)was classic. E announcing his relationship with Ashley being ‘serious’ was another predictable disappointment. Turtle getting dressed up by Jamie-Lynn was vomitus, but funny at the same time — the usual thing to do when you have a girlfriend. And how about David Schwimmer? Not the dorkus he usually is aye? He was after Lizzie, and that was more of classic Entourage. And how can we miss Johnny Drama’s casting with all those fuckin’ hot models! And when Ed Burns mentions how Drama has 25 takes with one of them, that was incredibly hilarious. There was also a bit of Mrs. Gold in there for good measure. All the ingredients and reasons why we love Entourage and why this episode was so good. We want more! …How did you rate it?

Episode 3 ‘One Car, Two Car, Red Car, Blue Car’ Review

The third episode of season six and Happy Birthday Turtle! 50 cent had a really neat f*ckin’ cameo, riding in a white (Bentley?!) car beside Turtle’s California, who obviously has some rep in the industry ever since his relationship with Saigon back in the day. 50 makes a snide remark which really makes Turtle tick, and this kind of sets off this ep’s story about Turtle becoming his own man. This is pretty much a demon he’s been fighting every now and then since day one. (Catch 50 cent’s twits)

Ari has an awesome father-son talk with Turtle, and the advice he gives to E with the subsequent laughter is just awesome. Ari Gold has reached the top, and I think he’s almost tipping the ‘too nice’ point. Nasty Ari will have to unleash soon.

We were all happy to see Charlie in action again, but not under these circumstances, perhaps Charlie just needs to ‘pay his dues’ as Ari Gold says to Turtle. Hopefully he’ll bounce back as the series goes on. I can really see Vinnie becoming Charlie’s mentor.

Don’t Be Somber, At Least You Look Good
— 50 Cent, to Turtle

The show has also been focusing a lot on E and how he’s actually becoming his own man — being the producer he onced dreamed of, and we really love it. Although one character trait that really f*cks things up for him, is his need to be in a relationship. E needs to KEEP PLAYIN’ THE FIELD! C’mon dude, it was supposed to be a one-nighter and now she’s giving you advice about your show?! Damn girl, put some pants on!

Would be nice to see Eric steal some of Vince’s thunder, by becoming a successful producer/agent, and get the girls to chase him. I heard rumors about a famous director who used to hand out business cards to single women whilst in LA’s infamous bumper to bumper traffic. And he’d score more than a couple of visits the same night. This has to be Eric ‘E’ Murphy one day.


All in all, a good episode, not the best so far, probably rank it 3rd for Season 6. Kind of getting tired of Turtle and Jamie-Lynn (Vomitus?). Would love to see Ashley go and E getting Sloan jealous once again. And it’s about time Drama and Vin did some real work…haha… My fingers are crossed we get to see a bit more ‘Enzo: The Movie’ in the making.

Let’s not forget the hot Alicia Silverstone look-a-like Janet Varney, who plays Amy Miller, Eric’s studio exec (also seen in reDOMption). Hopefully E does her soon.

Time for the music:

  • “On Fire” — Van Halen
    [Boys racing Ferrari's]
  • “The A.B.C. of L.O.V.E.” — Pravda
    [Lloyd greets E]
  • “OK, Ya Right” — 50 Cent
    [The 50 Cent Scene]
  • “Music” — Erick Sermon
    [Jamie arrives with Turtle's Porsche]
  • “Ghost Rider” — Suicide
    [E marches towards Amy]
  • “Everybody Loves Me” — One Republic
    [Turtle's Party]
  • “Can’t Keep No Good Boy Down” — Parlor Mob
    [End Credits]

Episode 2 ‘Amongst Friends’ Review

The second episode really kicked off season six, showing us what this season will be all about. The true star Vincent Chase, classic Ari Gold and the boys and their dilemmas and a most welcome back to Mrs. Ari Gold (Perrey Reeves) — although her sexy ass was featured last week.

Eric was in his usual spin with the girls (usual for season six so far, a trend perhaps), and this episode definitely showed off his own skills with the ladies, or lack there of, and it was complete with awkward situations. And even though awkward E should really chase Sloan, she was absolutely stunning at the premiere, but he should definitely hold on to his neighbor, Ashley (played by Alexis Dziena…tsss) and whoever else! Why stop at one?! yeeeeah baby.


Ari dealing with Andrew Klein was classic, and their meeting with the new clients was hilarious, I loved how Ari was on his own best behavior and trying to take control of the situation. Andrew Klein definitely has good eyesight, the girl he’s fucking is so totally worth it. This storyline will be interesting to see develop. By the way if you missed her, she is Autumn Reeser and I hope we see more of her. Turtle and Jamie-Lynn were just that cute couple, getting a bit vomitus to be completely honest, but this is needed from time to time.


The woman playing Vinnie’s love interest or rather fuck-buddy was actually Miss Israel 2004, another beauty which this episode had a lot of, and let’s not forget Drama!, he was lucky to score Miss Azita Ghanizada. Although there were plenty of girls, I think we all would’ve enjoyed a bit more flesh, and maybe some extra adult laughs like when Turtle and Drama revealed that they accidentally ‘crossed swords’ in Season 2, Episode 7 – ‘The Sundance Kids’. It almost happened again when Drama’s girl invited E for a threesome. Funny shit. It was a real classic Entourage episode, with all the right ingredients to set the tone for the rest of the season.


Time for the music:

  • “She’s Into Black Guys” — The Bodega Girls
    [When E invites Sloan]
  • “NY Sound” — Streetlab
    [Boys going shopping]
  • “Loungin” — LL Cool J
    [While buying suits]
  • “So Fine” — Sean Paul
    [In the Limo]
  • “Dance Tonight” — Paul McCartney
    [Walking onto the red carpet]
  • “Crank It Up” — Intervox
    [Gatsby Party]
  • “Heebie Jeebies” — Extreme Music
    [Eric+Sloan Gatsby Premiere]
  • “You Don’t Love Me (No No No)” — Dawn Penn
    [After Party at Vinnies]
  • “Why Can’t I Touch It” — The Buzzcocks
    [End Credits]
