I'm an avid watcher of this show, and for a good reason: It's nothing short of astoundingly entertaining.
This episode is the big decider for his Vince's next gig after Aquaman, the number one film in America, and a total hit. When Ari presents all of the jobs to Vince that he is offered including films by Darren Aronofsky and David O Russell, the only one that he doesn't (literally) throw into a trash can is the only script that isn't present, but is hopefully going to be. Vince wanted to play Pablo Escobar, and now he has the chance, since he is given a potential offer from Phil Rubenstein, a writer and producer on Shrek.
When Vince and his crew go to Phil's house to talk about the project, and convince him to do it, Dom sways him with a jail story of his to show Vince is the perfect guy to play the role. This convinces Phil to write the script.
But after that night, Phil has gone ape, because somebody stole his Shrek doll, an original, and to him, represented his turning point in his career. All eyes have turned to the only ex-con in their lives, and in that house that night, for an answer.
To say anymore would spoil the ending, so enough said. But the ending of the episode is a magnificent twist, juiced with the harsh reality of the business. Grenier is effortlessly pitch perfect in his portrayal of Vince, as is everyone else in Vince's crew. The guy who plays Dom is effortless as well, and is a great stereotype from a Scorsese gang flick , not that that's a bad thing. All the better! I'm speechless when it comes to this show. Lean back and enjoy!
