Moronic Logic

Kenny Cahoon / Lantz Hawthorne / Sam Hollandmoroniclogic.com

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!
