Season Finale: Show

Rate this Episode:

The gang uses the occasion of Xander's documentary screening to showcase their own talents; Xander wonders if his Dad will show up.

SHOW was produced and directed by Kathleen Grace and written by Thom Woodley.

MUSIC

Music for this episode was provided by the super-fun coed block party known as Sexy Champions ( www.myspace.com/sexychampions). Champions of what, you might ask? How about ROCKING YOU? And also sexy.

CAST

Our cast includes: Matt Yeager (Xander), Kelli Giddish (Courtney), Bob McClure (Jed), Lindsey Broad (Spring), Jeff Skowron (Ryan), Maria Hurdle (Maia), and Mr. Chris O’Connor (Early).

No guest appearances for this episode per say, although try to find cameos from many of the Burg crew in the final credits!

HOOD

SHOW was shot entirely in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Galapagos Artspace has been base camp for the Williamsburg experience for a long time now. They have great bands and do fantastic shows – like, for instance, our show on January 27th, where we both performed live and filmed for this episode.

Other locations include Bob’s apartment on Grand Street, some empty lot over on like Siegel Street or something, a parking lot on Lorimer…you get the picture.

CREW

Our Directors of Photography for this ep were Robby Rapaport, Cristina Wolf and Johnny North. Our editor was the amazing Chris Chan Roberson.

Sound was done by Cliff Brett and Thom. Script supervision by Tessa Mancini. Costumes by Jess Trejos. Hands-on-deck help by B Singer, Peter Colapietro, Katie La Greca, Shawn Dempewolff-Barrett, Clint Higgins, and many more. Graphic design by Natalie Davis.

`X Marks the Spot’, Xander’s documentary, was improv-written by Matt and Thom, performed by Matt, shot by Thom and Cristina, with music by Cliff, and basically then made into genius by Ana Veselic. A full-length version will be coming soon…!

Jed’s Horrible Song was written by Bob and Thom very, very quickly.

SPECIAL THANKS

To everybody who came out in January to be a part of this shoot. To B Singer, for lending many hands. To Bob’s roommate Kris, for understanding. To Leah Sparkes, for rocking on the publicity front. To everyone who’s helped us in any way to launch our first season online.
You all rock.

But most of all, to our amazing cast and crew, who have worked for the past year without one single complaint, ever, ever. You have got us this far. God will get us the rest of the way. Shalom.

I love this show sooooo much!!! This cast is just wonderful. The writing is so good! The direction was awesome! The editing was stellar! Jeff returns! An Infidels ringtone! I want one (even though i don't know how to install ringtones!). I came home after a long day of work, started my itunes up for some relaxing music and I see the podcast icon doing the little spin-around not realizing what joy was awaiting me until I realized it was a big file. What could it be? I went to Recently Added and saw an unfamiliar Burg title on my playlist and the length. Needless to say, it felt like Christmas morning! So without getting over critical like I did last ep, I just want to simply congratulate all of you an excellent first season and thank you again for sharing these amazing shows with me. Now I will share a true, weird, and funny story with you. A few weeks ago I was in Bushwick working on a TV pilot. My co-worker dumped me off at the L train since I needed to transfer at Union Square to get home. So I fire up my ipod to listen to Apes and Androids, which I became a fan of after watching a Burg ep. Songs are playing in my "The Burg Tunes" playlist. And just as the train pulls into Lorimer or Bedford(I don't remember which), Satellite begins playing and on the L train boards one Thom Woodley! It was eerie and at the same time amusing. I didn't say anything to him because it had the potential to be an extremely awkward moment. But I was thinking to myself, "Dude, your band is great and I love "The Burg" an awful lot! because he sitting directly across from me. No eye contact, but I wonder if he faintly heard his tune. I am not making this up. So there you have it. I manifested the Burg co-creator through the magic of iPod.

loved it.I think it is the best one so far.

Comment by Kristin – April 7, 2007 at 3:30am ET

I was a little confused by this episode, usually the title of the episodes have a double meaning like in "hood"- jed was moving to a new hood and maya was friends with hoods. the episode "single" had the double meaning with jed's new single for see monkey do and for xander's web show "singled"...and in the episode "training" the L train was out of service and the parties they had been going to before awesome pete's party were all training for that party....and so on. But did I miss the double meaning in this episode? Or is it just that it was a show and it also was an abbreviation for whatever xander said it was but he said that the "the" was silent (S.T.H.O.W). It just kinda left me hanging. I still love this podcast so much. but this episode was a sad one, and a short one. It just didn't flip my switch, but I'll be patient and wait for the next episode for some greatness, cuz I know you guys really have something great here with this show. keep it up!

great episode! loved the little touchy feely moment at the end there with the group hug. hehe.

I want the infidels ringtone!

xanders movie was awesome! VAGINA!

Comment by Merrijoy – April 8, 2007 at 2:06am ET

Wait, who said I understood? I have no idea what's been going on!!!

Comment by Kristopher – April 8, 2007 at 2:58am ET

Count me in as loving the group hug...even in spite of Early's exclusion. The guy's homeless...I love him, and I'd hug him, but I can see why our anti-hipster heroes wouldn't. Big thank yous to Kathleen, Thom, Kelli, Bob, Lindsey, Matt, Jeff, Chris and the whole Burg gang for an amazing season of ironic neo-con fucking! Hurry back from hiatus, guys!

X marks the Spot is pure genius. Very clever jab at navel-gazing UTFs worldwide :)
Terrific season finale!

loved it. Exchange between Maia and Courtney was good
" how is that working for you" . I liked the group hug and I hope it's not the last one. But i can't be too happy about anything until they agree to put Imus back on TV. Arrrooooooooooo

Humphrey did not eat the apples. He just likes to be involved in the drama.

get this straight... drama does not exist without humphrey. he is the obe won, the guru, zen master of drama. if anyone starts it, it is due to the will of humphrey!

you guys rock. allkindsarocking.
I fear... the whole mention of 'being left to make stuff for our friends' is hinting at the nearing end of the burg! Please sayitaintso! I dont know how you pay for everything... but maybe, maybe maybe, we could have a little IRL benefit for y'all boys and grrls.
everytime a new episode hits, I smile a big smile... I'd be willing to work to keep that going :-)

Thank GOD this section is up and running again. Most of the fruit in my bowl is inedible I've waited so long. But now my bananas can be used for shakes or banana bread, so that's cool.
