Talkin' 'Bout Turtle

  Andrew and Erik are forced to work together to survive Devilberg’s breach case. Andrew learns the limits of his power. Erik faces consequences. Both of their worlds are irrevocably changed.

  The gang heads to Vegas!

Ben defends his boss (Richard Kline), accused of killing an umpire during his softball team’s playoff game.

A dark night of the soul as Erik is forced to confront the demons of his past and face up to past wrongs.

In the place where it all began, it all will end. Lies are brought to the front, loyalties are tested and a friendship is forever broken.

The phoenix rises from the fall. Once we were lost but now we are found. Trust no one.

Justin from the Real Good Show podcast offers legal consult and talks a little Turtle with us.

We travel to engineer William’s isolated cabin for a Talkin’ ‘Bout Turtle spooktacular of truly horrific proportions. This episode brought to you by Longbourn’s Songbird, the new novel by Beau North. Buy it today! You’ll be glad you did.

Legal intrigue with our pal Josh Hollis.

Andrew travels to the ends of the earth to find Erik and finally get back to this business of talking about Turtle.

On this week’s nerdtacular ep we joyously fulfill a contractual obligation and discuss the space epic Wing Commander.

In our premiere episode on the Milk Nerd network we talk about the season 2 finale, dance on the ashes of All About the Drama, and welcome a very important guest.

On today’s episode of All About the Drama, Sammi and Sarah attempt to discuss the show while dealing with a rude interruption.

On a totally sober episode, we wipe the slate clean with Danny, hear from Andrew’s dad, rap about rap, and air some grievances.

Ben Cohen joins us to talk about a terrible episode, Drama’s weird head, the Sinbad vehicle First Kid, and we get a very, very special surprise phone call from noted right-wing actor Adam Baldwin.

Andrew and Erik do some public scheming in an episode with warm Ari feelings, Vince awfulness, the titular Clockwork Orange, and special guest Sammi.

An episode of sad songs, anger at incongruous movie references, and U2. Also, Andrew out-nerds anyone on the actual show, for good or ill.

On a very special episode of Talkin’ ‘Bout Turtle we are joined by Andrew’s mom Joanne, and we kick things off with an intense and uncomfortably personal game of Do You Know Your Turtle? Later we talk about road rage, Ari’s hair(?), do music free association, and examine Entourage action figures.

We reach an episode hotly anticipated by Andrew, debate the jewishness of Harvey Weinstein, posit potential Senor Spielbergos, and unveil the extended cast of Queen’s Boulevard. We then premiere our new segment, Pepperoncino of the Week.

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.

[audio https://archive.org/download/TalkinBoutTurtleEntourageTheMovieEpisode/Talkin’%20’Bout%20Turtle%20-%20Entourage,%20The%20Movie%20Episode.mp3] The day has finally arrived, the magic of cinema has brought the whole gang to theaters: Vince, Drama, E, Turtle, and even Ari are bringing laughs and joy to audiences worldwide, and what better than a thorough mega-length episode to commemorate such a special, momentous occasion.

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.

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.

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.
