K and Warren are back from their hiatus to talk about Hylics - a video game series that has completely rewritten K's brain - There's even a musical! Calm your mandibles and prepare to usurp the king of the Moon and end the Spell of Absurdity with your newfound best friends in an argillaceous world - discovering that the real power was friendship, gestures, and, of course, paper cups!

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, K and Warren discuss a production of A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder that helped get them through a rough time.

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!

This is a long one but we had a lot to say on it! K introduces Warren to his second opera, George Gershwin's Porgy and Bess. Along the way, we talk about an amazing Black opera singer, Anne Wiggins Brown, we discuss representation in theatre, and Warren writes a sequel.

Correction: K mentions the "Rap Saturday's Voyeur" with the incorrect year. The year should have been 2005 and not 2003. This week, K and Warren talk about the inaugural production of the local musical, SLAC Cabaret. We discuss corn flakes, people who look related, the Salt Lake Airport, and Multi-level marketing!

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! We discuss red flags, mill workers, and K's awakening as a furry! We promise it makes sense! This episode got surprisingly raunchy and has some of the most cursed content to ever grace Tone Deaf!

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. Additionally, Warren gets confused, K sings, and we get mad at Dick Clark's American Bandstand and The Buddy Deane Show! What're you wearing?

We couldn't give this episode the name we really wanted to so use your imagination! This week, K and Warren cover the  "whimsical" movie musical, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Does it deserve to be called a classic or should it have been taken out to the junk yard and melted down for scrap? This episode is wild, y'all. Also, we decided we are now a Soap (1977 - 1981) podcast. We hope you understand.

When we last left our ... heroes? K and Warren were tasked with recapping everything they have learned from the Land Before Time series. This week, we learn what wisdoms were gleaned, we experience some acapella under duress, and we learn that maybe the real Land Before Time was the friends we made along the way.

We've made it!  Sort of. This week, K and Warren conclude the gauntlet as they watch the final installment (for now) of the Land Before Time franchise - Land Before Time XIV: Journey of the Brave. We can't believe there are 14 of these either. Binge listeners, beware. There is one more episode to conclude this series of episodes, but it is a recap of what we have learned along the way. Warren apologizes, K gives constructive criticism, and we learn just how much can change from 2007 to 2016 in this episode of Tone Deaf!
