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 1 takes us to the 1929 Academy Awards, where Golden Boy host Kenny Cahoon and his first co-host Cyrus Leddy must decide which of 8 films is the real Best Picture.
We combine the three films nominated for Best Outstanding Picture: Wings, The Racket, and 7th Heaven, with the three films nominated for Best Unique and Artistic Picture (a category that was abandoned after the first awards show!) Sunrise, The Crowd, and Chang... and then we throw in the two films that were held out of competition and given Special Awards: The Jazz Singer and The Circus. By the end of the episode only one movie (or two if we do not agree) will prevail and take home the actual Golden Boy. Let us know your thoughts on the movies, which one you think deserved the Golden Boy, and definitely let us know if this episode encouraged you to watch any of the movies! There are no wrong answers when it comes to personal preference, so if you loved a movie we didn't, make your case down below in the comments!

This show is also being released as an audio only podcast if you wish to listen to us while you do chores or on an insanely long car ride! Check us out here- [ Ссылка ]

Recommendations!!!!!
Here are two great podcasts I started listening to when working on this episode!

Oscar Podcast- The Oscars Year by Year (Sasha Stone) Episode 74b is relevant to the 1929 Academy Awards. Three knowledgable hosts with great banter. (sound quality for this particular episode was a bit wonky) 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.
