Moronic Logic
Conversational documentarians discuss film history, directors' filmographies in chronological order, and decide what really should have won at different film award shows.
Golden Boy: An Academy Awards Podcast will premiere simultaneously as both a podcast and as a show on YouTube. This show will feature regular host Kenny alongside a rotating co-host to get different unique perspectives and keep things lively. This show will chronologically go through every Academy Awards since 1929, watching every movie nominated for best picture in that year and discussing what still holds up, what should have won, and what should be left in the dust bin of history! Please feel free to let us know when we are wrong, right, way off the mark, and your own personal preferences in the comments sections wherever they might be! We encourage you to watch these movies as well and be surprised along with us with what you end up liking. This show will air new episodes on the 1st of every month!
The Hitchcock Challenge (aka Presenting Alfred Hitchcock) originally premiered on YouTube and is hosted by your pals (the three morons and original founding fathers of Moronic Logic) Kenny, Sam, and Lantz. This two hour long show breaks down every movie directed by Alfred Hitchcock in chronological order, identifying recurring themes, reused actors, sources for follow up reading and whatever related minutia the hosts dig up. It is recommended you watch the Hitchcock film we are discussing before listening to our episode to avoid spoilers, and joining in on the discussion wherever comments sections are available! This show will be back! Promise!

Golden Boy #6 The 6th Academy Awards from 1934 (Depression Strikes Hollywood!)
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 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. This episode features a discussion on who actually should get credit for coming up with calling the awards Oscars, the effects of the Great Depression on Hollywood, and the end of the pre-code era and the beginning of Hollywood censorship. 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.
