Golden Boy #8: The Eighth Academy Awards from 1936! (Escapism Invades Hollywood!)

Season 1 · Episode 8

Thursday, August 1, 2024 • Duration 03:27:36

Send us a text

Welcome to Golden Boy: An Academy Awards Podcast! Join Moronic Logic monthly as Kenny enlists a rotating co-host from an assemblage of interesting and unique voices to watch every movie nominated for Best Picture in a given year and decide who SHOULD have won the Golden Boy.
We do EVERYTHING in chronological order at Moronic Logic, so Episode 8 takes us to the Eighth Academy Awards, held in 1936, where Golden Boy host Kenny Cahoon and guest host Brendan Bell must decide which of 12 films is the actual Best Picture. This episode features a discussion on Nazi's and escapism invading Hollywood as Adolph Hitler gains power in Europe. Join us and join in on the discussion! By the end of the episode only one movie (or more depending on how the discussion goes) will prevail and take home the actual Golden Boy.

Brendan Bell is a professional Graphic Designer, shape-shifting musician, artist, and amateur cinephile. In the late 90’s, he left art school to pursue a career in unpopular music. He cut his teeth and other body parts as a singer/percussionist in the (mostly) confusing genre bending band Grüvis Malt, and later played drums in an offshoot project, the action/adventure, garage-prog band Ebu Gogo. He released one album as leader of the sub-regional Gameboy Pop supergroup Jonny Classic and the Classic Johns, and a handful of music including a puppet-based music video with rapper Romen Rok, before going totally solo. He has since released a pair of instrumental albums under the moniker Belll. He received a BFA in Graphic Design in 2009 and started a professional career soon after as an in-house and freelance Designer and Illustrator.

During the Covid lockdown, he realized that the he had been neglecting his love of cinema, and committed to watching as many films as possible moving forward. Since deciding to watch at least a film a day in November 2021, he has seen over 1000, logging and writing reviews of varying length and quality for each of them on the Letterboxd app. What began as a hobby has become a life-affirming mental-health practice.

We do EVERYTHING in chronological order at Moronic Logic, so Episode 6 takes us to the Sixth Academy Awards, held in 1934, where Golden Boy host Kenny Cahoon and guest host Jeff Somerville must decide which of 10 films is the actual Best Picture.

Join us and join in on the discussion! By the end of the episode only one movie (or more depending on how the discussion goes) will prevail and take home the actual Golden Boy.

Jeff Somerville

For over a decade Jeff Somerville was a judge and then director of a screenwriting competition for a New England based film festival. After reading some good, and many, many bad scripts it was time to focus on his own work. One semester of an MFA in a Screenwriting program was quite enough of that for him so he decided he'd rather spend his remaining days educating the youth of America, or at least the youth of a moderately sized town in New England. Jeff also operated a small independent movie theater that prided itself on opening the Best Picture Oscar winner, whether that film deserved to win or not, for the better part of a decade. Today he coaches his daughters' softball teams and finds it a much more fulfilling experience. PS: The one best man speech our fine host Kenny is not proud of is the one he attempted at my wedding. He was co-best man and the plan was for one speech. He performed admirably given mere seconds to prepare a speech of such magnitude.

The Hitchcock Challenge #5: Easy Virtue (1927)

Season 1 · Episode 5

Thursday, November 16, 2023 • Duration 01:53:10

Send us a text

Welcome to the fifth episode of The Hitchcock Challenge!

Episode 5 features a deep dive into Hitchcock 's hard to find 5th film, Easy Virtue. This film was restored in 2012 by the BFI but is still UNRELEASED, at least in the states, in that form. But even the restored version is in pretty rough shape, so we are lucky to have what we do of it. The fella's break all of that down in detail in the episode.

This episode was made for our YouTube channel MoronicLogic and is presented here as it originally premiered.

Join Kenny, Sam, and Lantz as they watch every movie directed by Alfred Hitchcock in chronological order and break them down in extreme detail. The first ten episodes, covering Hitchcock’s silent career originally premiered (or will premiere) on YouTube as Presenting Alfred Hitchcock. Future episodes will be made with the podcast in mind.

This series is about reviving the excitement for these old movies, looking at them through a modern lens and actually challenging ourselves to step away from Netflix and corporate TV we normally love and consume. We do the research on the behind the scenes gossip, break down iconic and less than iconic scenes, give Maguffin reviews and talk WAY longer than anyone else you'll find online. Hitchcock history is discussed and we will add relevant research materials to the episode bio’s for your own further reading!

New episodes of The Hitchcock Challenge will appear on the 15th of every month!

King Vidor's THE CROWD (1928)!This movie is only available through the Internet Archive here-Recommendations!!!!!Here are two great podcasts I started listening to when working on this episode! I didn't have time to try any new ones this month but when I do I will add them to the list.Oscar Podcast- The Oscars Year by Year (Sasha Stone) Episode 74b is relevant to the 1929 Academy Awards. Three knowledgable hosts with great banter. This is where I first heard about Louis B Mayer screwing over The Crowd (1928) for all time.Time Honored Pictures with Reyes and Evergreen. I listened to their episode on Wings and 7th Heaven and loved the knowledge and chemistry these two had.
