Not sure if this is a reliable source but this guy said it would be easier to reattach the head backwards. I wish thats what happened in Body Parts. Charlie running around with his head on backwards trying to gather his limbs. Good times. https://www.bizarrepedia.com/monkey-head-transplant/

Yeah, I didn't feel like getting into the details since there was that podcast episode about, but it is messed up. The dude even still has film credits as recently as 2015.

There is a Dollop episode (#57 "Eric Red") about the writer of Body Parts and The Hitcher. Long story short, he basically acted out some of the shit from those movies in real life and basically got away with it.

June really has a thing for inflexible men (Earnest clearly being the exception, though since he's deceased I guess he is also stiff).

Yes this. Immediate total recall once it started playing. And Rally's fries were da bomb.

BTW, is this movie a prequel to Solar Babies?

I am curious about that outdoor rink. Where was that? They set up an outdoor rink in Fountain Square each year around Christmas for skating and broomball, but that's the only one I can think of and that is not where they were playing. There are high school hockey teams now in Cincinnati but that is a fairly new development (they weren't around in the 90s when I was in high school) and as far as I know, they all play in the few indoor rinks in the area.

Overall a good article, some factual errors though (the greenhouse is the Krohn Conservatory in Eden Park), the biggest being the statement that Cincinnati has no national landmarks. Well excuse me, but here is one Cincinnati landmark singing about another:

Is this the article about the movie that Paul was talking about? http://moviemezzanine.com/the-dream-of-92-cincinnati-airborne-and-the-cinematic-capital-that-never-was/

BTW-Mitchell bringing his surfboard to Cincinnati reminded me of this: THEN: NOW:

And then there's uh this:

Though the Cyclones may have lost the Jason Voorhees logo, the mascot redesign did allow for this:

Oddly, I found a couple of short videos of the road on the youtubes:

Delhi/Western Hills area. Cuts diagonally across Ebeneezer ends at Rapid Run. It's very twisty and hilly and woodsy. You'd pretty much never use it unless you were visiting someone that lived there. Buffalo Ridge might be even worse, but it doesn't have as cool of a name.

The start of serious snow in Cincinnati can vary greatly, but usually you don't see the white death until January. A white Christmas in Cincy is typically flurries if it happens, but yes growing up you would occasionally get serious snowfall as early as late October, but that's pretty rare. Cincinnati actually sits in a slightly different climactic zone than the rest of Ohio, it's often several degrees warmer than even Dayton, OH which is only about 50 miles away. I think it has to do with those hills that were featured so prominently in the movie and the river.
