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 5 takes us to the Fifth Academy Awards, held in 1932, where Golden Boy host Kenny Cahoon and guest host Toni Fellela must decide which of 8 films is the actual Best Picture. This episode features a discussion on the first tie in Oscar's history, the end of the Jazz Age, and the second to last oscars before the Hays Code kicks in. 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.
Toni Fellela has been teaching college writing for many years now. She has also taught African American literature, the Literature of Fantasy and Imagination and even Business and Technical writing during some rather desperate semesters. Her major academic interests include American-working class literature and the bildungsroman. Future goals include becoming a Scrabble hustler and seeing the Northern lights. She'd like to take this opportunity to promote her son's youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/c/SebastianNestor/videos.
Intro Music: "Let the Light Shine Through by Reynard Seidel
Outro Music: "Through The Light" by Reynard Seidel
"Auld Lang Syne" (Piano Version) by Megan Woffard
Music through Epidemic Sound

Previous Episode
The Hitchcock Challenge #4: Downhill (1927)
Welcome to the fourth episode of The Hitchcock Challenge!
Episode 4 features a deep dive into Hitchcock and Novello's follow up to The Lodger, Downhill or When Boys Leave Home (Nobody calls the movie that anymore so we won't either!)
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!
Recommended Reading!
1. Dan Auiler's Book "Hitchcock Lost The Lost Silent Hitchcock and Frenzy 67" available at the link.
2. The Hitchcock Zone.com is THE site for Hitchcock fans looking for comprehensive collections of scholarship and primary sources on all of Hitchcock's films. We love and recommend that site! in particular it will link you to the work of JL Kunhs one of the best and earliest Hitchcock Scholars! (Link to the Mountain Eagle page)
3. "Hitchcock/Truffaut, The Definitive study of Alfred Hitchcock" by Francois Truffaut
and
4. Taschen's "Alfred Hitchcock: The Complete Films" edited by Paul Duncan are the two books we lean on the most and should be in the collection of every Hitchcock mega fan!

Next Episode
The Hitchcock Challenge #5: Easy Virtue (1927)
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.
