A married couple's journey through musical theatre.
In this episode, K introduces Warren to their new favorite director, screenwriter, and playwright, Melvin Van Peebles by way of the musical "Don't Play us Cheap". We briefly talk about Melvin Van Peebles' amazing life, we discuss metaphorical cannibalism (it makes sense in context), and Warren learns about The Screwtape Letters. Remember folks, "If you see a devil, SMASH HIM!"

In this episode, K and Warren watch and discuss Shuffle Along - a Black musical classic from 1921 by Eubie Blake, Noble Sissle, Flournoy Miller (whose name K can't pronounce), and Aubrey Lyles. K discovers their new favorite author, Caseen Gaines, we discuss the double standards in what is considered a "classic", and Warren discovers that love uh ... finds a way.

Fandom: The Bible. Pairings: Mary/Joseph, Herod/Gabriel. Author's Note: First five reviewers get immaculately conceived. Please no flames, I just really love M-slash-J. I know, this is a popular pairing, but it's popular for a reason, dangit! I was going to do this in script format but apparently that's not allowed on this site anymore, so prose it is! Joseph: Don't forget the disclaimer, K! Mary: Yeah, you don't want to be sued by God! Fig: I'm going to be a marketable plushie! I do not own the Bible or the Book of Luke. Please do not sue me! Thanks for reading! I'll try to update next week but no promises! XP ... I'm sorry, I don't know what came over us. In this special Holiday episode, K and Warren watch Journey to Bethlehem, the Mary and Joseph - of the Bible - musical romantic comedy. Choices were made and we're both so glad that they were. Merry Christmas, folks. This episode is WILD

This week we cover one of K's all time favorite musicals to watch and be in, Once on This Island. We discuss two versions that K was in before watching the American Musical Theatre of San Jose's production. Will Warren have the same fondness that K has for this musical? We also discuss colorism, the importance of having an all-Black cast, Rosa Guy, and just how dark the original Little Mermaid was!

Sorry that we've been gone for so long, folks. We are back with Warren's least favorite musical! This week, K and Warren tackle Carousel as a tribute to someone who was an amazing dad - very much unlike the protagonist of this show!

Does this episode make our podcast true crime if it features a guy who played Ted Bundy? No? Well, we tried. This week, we finish our Hairspray vs. Hairspray with a look at the 2007 film adaptation of Hairspray. Warren vores the audience, K overshares, and we get probably the worst Christopher Walken Impersonation (disagree with us in the review section, we dare you). Will this one win the Hairspray vs Hairspray Champion belt or will it be TKOed by Hairspray live? We're also not a Sports podcast. Promo: Animorphing Time.

It's time for another head to head as we begin the knockdown, drag-out fight between two versions of Hairspray! K and Warren cover the 2016 NBC Live version of Hairspray and spend a lot of the time being thirsty about Jennifer Hudson. We're sorry for us.
