Moronic Logic
Golden Boy #1: The 1929 Academy Awards!
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 actual 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.
Cyrus Leddy is a writer and comedian living in New York City. He is the host of the radio talk show "Bucci" on WFMU, Tuesdays 6-7pm EST. Listen live on 91.9fm in NYC/NJ or at wfmu.org.
And call-in live at 201-209-9368. It's fun, you'll see.
