Can An Entourage Reboot Happen

Added: 2026-05-25

[00:00:00]I want to ask this because this is the million-dollar question and everyone talks about it. And I don't know if you saw the April Fool's joke.

[00:00:07]>> By the way, that was all Matt's idea. I did not want to do that. April hanging fruit and Jerry was so pissed.

[00:00:15]Like he was so mad. I can't do this. I'm like, of course you can. People are >> people are going to get mad.

[00:00:19]>> I I know the I know the reboot question and I get it. But I think everybody I Is there is there a world in which we see that? Does what does that look like?

[00:00:28]like like what would what are your just thoughts on a reboot?

[00:00:31]>> I mean, look, anything is possible, you know? Um, we obviously, like I said, for whatever reason, the culture has taken a lot of swings at us specifically. Like they somehow they somehow don't find, you know, Sopranos, which again, I'm not comparing it quality-wise. Think whatever you want about whatever you want, but Sopranos, where they beat up women and where they murder people >> is not a bad thing, but a show where people say some racy language for some reason is like got this weird thing. But um as far as the question of like, oh, could you do the show? Of course I could write it today. And of course I know how to write what the culture is today. And how the guys would adjust. Could Ari walk around his office speaking the way he he did? Of course not. You'd be fired in a second. They'd be videotaping you all day long. But the reality was that show was a very realistic look at how people were speaking in Hollywood at that time. So you can like that or not like that, but it was certainly not to not meant to offend anybody. But >> will it actually happen? You know, >> it's not something that I really give a lot of thought to. If someone decided they want to do it, then I would go, okay, let let's let's get into it. But I think with the podcast, which I think you really get a feel of of what the vibe of it is and um you know, anything is possible because the guys are all still great. Um, yeah. And you know, we just have to figure out the most difficult thing would be like, why do these four 40-year-old plus guys live with each other still? That's that that's the most unrealistic situation of >> that part. Yeah.

[00:02:03]>> We used to think it was like not think but there was line I feel like there was dialogue like we can't all live together when we're in our 30s, bro. Like what do we do? Yeah. I do feel like you guys would know this better than I would, but I do feel like maybe there's somewhat of a culture shift happening >> because you see all these roast happening and all this and it's like kind of getting back to like like comedy is kind of getting back to comedy.

[00:02:25]>> There's no doubt Kevin Hard and the Brady Ro, you know. Um and again, I don't say that's that's why Oh, there's no at this point. But um I think I always believe you can do good comedy always. It just has to be good, you know, and and I think I think that we could probably do something good, you know. We we did a pilot last year and Jerry was going to come on if the show actually went we were going to do something more with it. But we did something with Charlie Sheen, who I I thought if anyone if anyone's culture shift need to come back, it was him. And uh no, we made a great show and uh very good. I I I think that people were were okay with the tone of that. Again, I I don't even like to make it like, oh my god, Entourage was the wor the worst. It it wasn't. I mean, there were far more vulgar stuff on even at the time and since. Um, but you know, things are are different. HBO owns the rights to it.

[00:03:19]So, it's really who knows what happens when this paramount business, to be honest with you, David Zazoff, who's the head of uh of Warner Brothers, the first thing he said on CNBC when he took the job, which he's subsequently made about $400 million since then, but he said HBO were the greatest brand in the world. We have Sex in the City, Sopranos, and Entourage. So, I I thought then they were going to be calling when you have the guy going on CNBC, but it you know that we never heard from him.

[00:03:44]Well, I hope >> other things I take a lot of pride in, >> we showed shoe culture, waiting online for sneakers. No one knew that was a thing. Comic-Con, now everyone uses Comic-Con in regular life language.

[00:03:58]Yeah, >> we were like, what is this nerdfest we're going to? That was like actual dialogue.

[00:04:02]>> Obviously, I mean, Miles Teller, I think, just sold a some kind of alcohol company for a probably made hund first on that. I mean there's just a lot of and also like you know we had a whole character dedicated to Harvey Weine guard that was not very favorable in the long run >> and the football team Ari Emanuel is going to own a football team >> an LA football team >> Mike Meldman who you know I had on the show helping bring the Rams back to LA owns you know the Raiders and Ari is going to own whatever the hell he wants to own you know so um we definitely had some stuff that defin that came True.

[00:04:41]>> Well, brother, I love you.

[00:04:42]>> Legendary run, man.

[00:04:44]>> You know, >> let's get this victory to podcasting going. Let's just get it going because I got some things to say now. I You know what? I haven't gone back and looked at the episodes in a really, really long time.

[00:04:56]>> Yeah.

[00:04:56]>> And now I'm at such a different place.

[00:04:58]Like I said, you're experiencing now. To think like your kids like are 24, 22.

[00:05:03]Like I remember holding Maya when she was your daughter now. I remember her being that age. So I think and I think we got to involve the the youth with the youths. We got to maybe bring on some of the younger people be like what is drawing you >> to this show? Why? Because maybe that's something we can tap into.

[00:05:19]>> It would be great. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:05:20]>> You're the man. Thank you. Thanks for coming on, man.

[00:05:23]>> Absolutely guys.

[00:05:24]>> Be good.

[00:05:25]>> True friends show up to a podcast on very very short notice with a good camera and a real microphone.

[00:05:31]>> Hopefully it looks good. Yeah. I don't know. And go Knicks, Jerry. Go Nicks.

[00:05:34]Okay, this next segment, Nitsa Muscle Memory, click it, don't risk it, paid for by Nitsa. This is where we kind of figure out something that we could just call upon when needed. So for you, Matt, I would say my question would be what wide receiver, you can go to college back, too. You don't have to just stick NFL. What wide receiver or tight end or running back in the back field, >> who did you have the most quarterback to receiver chemistry with? Well, I had the most chemistry with my center, you know.

[00:06:06]>> Oh, wow. It's intimate. You definitely clicked it and didn't risk it, which is >> I would I I would say I would say Reggie Bush and and and it may sound obvious, but but and I would go back to the Bush Push play is one play, right? the infamous play we've talked about a thousand times and every but to be on the same page of that in that moment um with everything on the line I mean literally everything for that season on the line and him understanding the situation give me a little push and all that we joke but like genuinely just knowing like having that chemistry and then more with Reggie too it was just he practiced so much at wide receiver because he was one of our best wide receivers and he was the best playmaker in open in the open field. Um, I just always knew like I always knew what the fade route looked like. I always knew what the slant and go looked like. I always knew that like, hey, if I just get it there, right? Like I always knew that with him, right? It was just one of those things where it was very unspoken in the huddle. You just had an idea and you went out there and you executed and that just shows up in right the stats, the wins and all of that stuff. So that that would be for me the chemistry of Reggie and I. We played three years together. Um and an incredible run in so many plays where we just knew, right? We just knew what was going on. So for me it's Reggie. I would be curious for you, Jerry. Was there someone whether it's Entourage probably or a movie that you just the minute you walked into a scene, the minute you walked into set, you're like this is like this is going to be easy, right? Was there someone like that for you with the chemistry?

[00:07:49]>> You know, chemistry is a funny thing.

[00:07:51]Like I almost wanted to frame that question for you differently, which was be like what what makes it chemistry?

[00:07:57]Like how could you look back and but I think you explained it inadvertently just by >> I think what makes it chemistry is just like the unspoken like you just know you've practiced so much that you just know like hey I know where you're going to be. Go.

[00:08:06]>> So ent let's start with entourage for a second because that's obviously like the pro the most defining thing in my career. It has to be Kevin Dylan. I mean, I like to think we all had great chemistry together, the four guys and Pivan, but with Dylan and it I don't think it was what anyone anticipated because and we just had Doug on and we should talk about this next time, but people were worried cuz Dylan, you know, I say this with all respect, is a little bit older than me, you know, 15 years older than me. They were worried like when we first started, we were supposed to be in like high school together, but Dylan's 15 years older than me. No one ever asked about that. And I started getting all these scenes with him. And to me, chemistry in acting, I forget who made this quote, but if you're both trying to make each other look good, it's going to work, right? So, I got to know Dylan so well and all his mannerisms and when and >> when he So, I knew when to leave a pause cuz he's going to do something or make one of those looks. I knew when to kind of like poke him to get him to get one of those Johnny drama as I wear the Johnny Bananas hat responses. So, Entourage for sure. It's me and Dylan.

[00:09:10]And it was the least likely in the beginning. I think people had outside of that. I just go >> I'm gonna put a whole cast on it. The entire cast of Think Like a Man.

[00:09:20]>> That's a movie that I >> That's a good one.

[00:09:22]>> I almost passed on because they offered it to me and they're like, "You're going to play Gabrielle Union's love interest." I went, "No, I'm not."

[00:09:28]Because no one's going to believe that.

[00:09:30]Who's going to believe that like Gabrielle Union wants me to marry her?

[00:09:33]And my character is like, "No, I'm good.

[00:09:36]I don't think I want to marry her." So, I almost said no for that. But what was cool was we would do all these scenes with just the guys, right? Playing basketball, Kevin Hart, Michael Eely, Gary Owen, and then we'd have a week where it was couples. So, I'd do two days with Gabrielle and Michael Eely would do two days with Taraji. So, it that movie is just loaded with chemistry. So, that would be my answer.

[00:09:57]>> How much how much of that movie was improvised?

[00:10:01]>> Uh, >> when the guys were together, >> I think Kevin and Gary had the green light, I would say.

[00:10:07]>> Of course. Yeah.

[00:10:07]>> Um, and but Gary had a great way of making the actual script, the dialogue feel improv. That's just what Gary's really good at. Kevin, too. Uh, we would all let stuff fly for the most part.

[00:10:21]But, um, no, the script was also really, really good. But, yeah, I think I would say Kevin and Gary had the had the green light to go. So, >> so good, man.

[00:10:29]>> Shout out to >> you. You and Dylan, man. Yep.

[00:10:32]>> I feel like he had great chemistry with everybody because he's just that type of dude.

[00:10:37]Yeah. I mean, we became a duo at one point and um here's how I knew though I was in trouble there. I was Oh, man. We had Doug on. We didn't ask him stuff.

[00:10:45]There was a line in episode three, the Jimmy Kimmel episode, which to me is the episode like we've talked about where we all figured it out, right? And we're rehearsing the scene and my I had a line in the script, Turtle, and my line was we got to get there early. Jimmy Kimmel's green room is st is stocked like a trout pond, meaning lots of girls there, right? And I said it in like rehearsal and it got like some nice laughs. Somehow Doug was like, "Kevin, you try the line." Then Dylan said it.

[00:11:12]Jimmy Kimmel's greet.

[00:11:15]>> The entire room erupted.

[00:11:18]>> Yeah. I just had the best joke maybe in the episode and it's now his. And that was an early sign of, you know, tee this guy up. Tee him up cuz he's a home run hitter. So shout outs to Nitsa. We're going to keep going with some of the memory lane stuff and muscle memory.

[00:11:36]Remember, click it, don't risk it. Paid for by its uh Matt, there's a there's a >> big movie coming out. I know you might not be the biggest Star Wars guy. I used to be. I'm not the biggest, but we got Mandalorian and Grou coming out. Like, it makes me remember all the times people used to wait online for movies like that and big sequels and all that stuff. I never did that. And um I don't know what movie would make anyone wait online.

[00:12:01]>> You didn't. You don't strike me as someone who camped out all night.

[00:12:04]>> The only time my mom or dad ever waited in line was to get the new Xbox for Christmas or something like that or the or the new Nintendo. I think it was probably Super Nintendo back in the day when you had to wait like Best Buy or >> you know, we talk a lot about, you know, back in the day and like how things were so much better and I do agree. However, that part is better. The fact that you don't have to go wait and tackle people online for a Cabbage Patch Kid doll or something. Tickle Me Elmo I remember was the one that people were fighting baby.

[00:12:35]>> So yeah. And also we got this week is God 1999 Phantom Menace came out. That was when people were waiting online. So we're going to talk about our favorite throwback three movie sequels. You can go drama, you can go comedy, you can go anywhere you want. These are your personal not the AFI list. Your personal movie sequels. And should we get one rule out of order? Like, should we do part three, part four?

[00:13:01]>> You have to, right? Trilogies. Yeah. I mean, there's so many. Yeah.

[00:13:05]>> Sequels need another one. Okay.

[00:13:07]>> Only for one of them, though.

[00:13:08]>> Throwback three movie sequels. Matt Liner. Go.

[00:13:13]>> There's way too many to choose from. But my my third would be Batman Dark Knight.

[00:13:20]>> Absolutely. I mean, absolutely.

[00:13:22]>> I I think that's a universally one of the greatest move. And by the way, I did I love Star Wars when I was a kid. I just never followed up. And when my kids get back into it, I'm sure I'll rewatch all those. But you go back to Batman Dark Knight. I think it was 2008.

[00:13:35]Is that is that ring a bell? Uh Christian Bale to me >> the greatest Batman we've ever had.

[00:13:43]>> You go Michael Keaton, you go all back in the day, but Christian Bale, the greatest Batman, and you had the late Heath Ledger, which gave the, you know, the awardworthy um obviously performance. So, to me, that is one of the greatest sequels of all time. Number two, this one is going to make you laugh cuz it's for sure as hell not going to be in your top three. Let's hear it.

[00:14:03]>> Top Gun Maverick 30 years 40 years later.

[00:14:08]>> That's why because Top Gun is my top three movie of all time. It is just I it's one of the greatest movies ever made in my opinion. I think a lot of people would agree it's a top 10 movie, right?

[00:14:20]>> Did you have Top Gun One on VCR tape?

[00:14:22]like like old.

[00:14:23]>> Oh, for sure. That's how you know.

[00:14:25]>> Top Gun. I watched If Top Gun is on TV right now, I'll go watch it if I have an hour and a half easily.

[00:14:31]>> Um, so when's when's the sequel? When's the sequel? When's the sequel? And everyone and I'm also like, man, I don't want to [ __ ] ruin the original Top Gun cuz most sequels aren't great. I thought when Top Gun Maverick came out and I I might have seen it in the theater cuz I was so excited.

[00:14:47]>> The first movie too, I did. I saw it with my dad and my brother. We were like, "Let's fuck." We hadn't seen a movie together.

[00:14:54]>> Movie in 10 years.

[00:14:55]>> And by the way, we walked out and I was like, "Holy [ __ ] that was a great [ __ ] movie." Yeah.

[00:15:00]>> Miles Teller was great. Tom Cruz is great. So, Top Gun Maverick.

[00:15:04]>> Well, real quick on the Miles Teller thing, too. From an acting point of view, when you hear they're making that movie and they're going to have Goose's son, that's the [ __ ] role that every 30 28 to 35 year old actor's like, I gotta get that part. Shout outs to Miles Teller. That was the part they did a long search. I was like Glenn Powell was in the mix.

[00:15:24]>> I was going to say Glenn Pal. It was a great cast.

[00:15:26]>> That's the role every dude like 28 to 35 is like I got to be Goose's kid. I got to >> Yeah, that was so that's one of my favorites, man. That's another one like I'd watched right now. Um and then number one is Rocky 4.

[00:15:41]>> Rocky four. Ending the Cold War. Let's go.

[00:15:44]>> Ending the Cold War. It's it's again again again it's it's a lowhanging fruit one because in my opinion there's a lot of great Rockies. Um I just think Rocky 4 is the best. I always have the storyline going to Russia the like just everything about it. Right. One of the most quotable ones uh beating Ivan Drago blah blah blah blah blah. It's like it's just my my it's literally my top probably two favorite movie of all time is Rocky 4. So, I got Rocky 4, I got Top Gun Maverick, and I got Batman Dark Knight as my great sequels. I >> I can't let the Rocky thing go for a second. I got to talk. Number one, Rocky 4 was one of the first movies I remember seeing in theaters. I think it was not long after my dad passed away and a neighbor's father, one of our friends dads, took me, my brother, and his son, and we saw it. And I remember, man, I can close my eyes walking down the ramp at the theater and I just went up to my brother all fired up, put my hands up and I like popped him with a little jab.

[00:16:40]He turned around and punched me dead in the nose in the theater and flattened me. Bloody nose, blood everywhere. The poor guy was doing a nice thing, taking two kids whose dad just died to the movie theater and one of them just flattened his younger brother. He laid me out, busted nose everywhere. Um, by the way, under under underrated off of this is Creed. The Creed movies are very good, too. Like Like they >> That's a reboot to me though, cuz they it's a reboot. But even like Creed 2 and like all of those Creeds are really good to me. So the Rocky to the Creed reboot.

[00:17:13]I mean, fant I mean, God, there's nine of them, right, total. Like those are all fantast.

[00:17:20]In terms I always judge to the Rockies like if you needed to get fired up for a workout, what Rocky training montage are you putting on? And the Rocky 4 one in the snow climbing the mountain.

[00:17:30]>> In the snow climbing the mountain, the beard. He had the beard.

[00:17:34]>> It It's just so good, dude. It's just so good.

[00:17:36]>> That's a great list. Um I think that's a very personal list. I like >> It's personal.

[00:17:42]>> Top Gun's personal. Yes, I know.

[00:17:43]>> I'm gonna I'm gonna keep it personal for me. All right. I'm going to get the elephant out of the room. Godfather 2 is the greatest sequel ever made. We all know that. That would be on my list. I'm gonna try to withstain from using. You know what? I'm keeping it on. That's Michael Jordan. I have to put it on. I just watched it on a flight two weeks ago. So, that we could put as my number one or whatever. My other two >> Matt Christmas Vacation qualifies as a sequel. It was the second one made in the National Lampoon's Christmas. It >> was it? What was the first >> first one? They went to Wally World.

[00:18:17]That was just >> that's a >> Christmas Vacation is absolutely a sequel and that's one of the I probably watch that movie more than any other.

[00:18:25]>> Is Christmas Vacation a top two or three comedy of all time?

[00:18:30]>> Uh for me I'm going to say like yes but again it's personal to me.

[00:18:35]>> No, I think it's >> it aged so differently now watching it with kids. Like I I put up the Christmas lights I always turn to J.

[00:18:44]>> Come over here Russ. Come see the light.

[00:18:45]Hey, Jacob.

[00:18:46]>> When the red When the red bikini comes out of the pool, do you tell your boys to come out to >> turn turn away? Turn away. All right.

[00:18:53]And >> that's a good one.

[00:18:54]>> My next one.

[00:18:56]>> I've watched this movie hundred times. I still talk about it. I think it's a great reference point to look back. Back to the Future, too.

[00:19:03]>> Love the hoverboards.

[00:19:05]I I still like wish there I could someone would come leave me the sports almanac so I could just basically quit everything and make a few million a year just betting on games. cuz I know the outcome to uh I know we didn't get hoverboards and it aged in a certain way, but just in terms of like >> the movie >> hoverboards at some point, >> the movie I watched the most, Back to the Future >> part two was up there and I prefer it more to even part one to some degree.

[00:19:32]>> I think when you're a kid, you don't appreciate Rocky one or Back to the Future one as much as you do when as an adult.

[00:19:38]>> I mean, Rocky was in the 70s, dude.

[00:19:43]And look, shout outs to Rocky, too. You could argue that's the greatest sequel.

[00:19:46]And then, >> by the way, that movie doesn't get started till till Adrian wakes up from the coma and Mickey goes, "What are we waiting for?" That that movie doesn't start till then. Then there's only 20 minutes. So, >> oh, >> good throwback.

[00:19:58]>> That's a good That's a good list, dude.

[00:19:59]We got to We got We're all over the place. That's good.

[00:20:01]>> I was very loud throughout all that.

[00:20:02]Sorry, your headphones. I just was fired up. And I'm curious to hear you guys out there push back on them.

[00:20:07]>> Best sequels of all time. Give us yours.
