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.
