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.

Here is Edie McClurg's 1st go at being a Cincy mom:

Like many minor league teams, the Cyclones history is a little weird.. They started as an ECHL team playing at the Cincy Gardens. A few years in the owners bought an IHL team, renamed it the Cyclones and moved into Riverfront Coliseum (the scene of The Who concert tragedy, btw). Meanwhile, a different group bought an AHL team and moved into the Gardens. That team was the Cincinnati Mighty Ducks, an affiliate of the NHL team. So for a while Cincy had 2 minor league hockey teams. Eventually the Ducks folded, but so did the entire IHL, which led to the Cyclones owners buying yet another ECHL team. PS, I currently have a collage of pictures of Cincy area landmarks taken around the MLB All Star game from 2015 hanging on my wall taken by the guy who is the current Cyclones mascot, Twister.

Another Cincinnatian weighing in... 1) There is a Devils Backbone road in the Greater Cincinnati area and its twisty as hell, but its nowhere near where they are in the movie. 2) This is actually the 2nd time Edie McClurg played a Cincinnatian, she was also Herb Tarlek's wife in multiple episodes of WKRP in Cincinnati. 3) Verne Troyer led the chicken dance at Cincinnati's Oktoberfest in 2002. 4) I think the general appreciation in Cincinnati for the movie is not because we ever thought it was good, but because several movies have shot in Cincinnati, but mostly they use Cincinnati for Old New York City (Lost in Yonkers for example) or its fairly incidental that they occur in Cincinnati (the beginning of Rain Man, Traffic, etc.). Airborne is one of the only ones where the fact that its taking place in Cincinnati is a real plot point. 5) The PB&J burger is specific to that place, its not a general Cincinnati thing. Cincinnati style chili would have been more appropriate.

I think we have an answer to what is a Street Fighter... Not a right answer, but an answer.

I'm trying to work out the economics. They are going to turn $50000 worth of blank CDs into $1000000 of bootleg Da Brat discs? That's a 2000% profit. How are they doing this? If the blanks were $1 each, they need to sell 50000 Da Brat Bootlegs for $20 each. If the blanks were 10 cents each, they are selling 500000 Da Brat bootlegs for $2 each. I just don't see a sufficient demand no matter how cheap the bootlegs to get that 2000% profit margin.

Thank you to the hatch-stronauts. Wouldn't mind seeing Kyle and David move to Seattle to take care of their father.

Perhaps this year, in these uncertain, violent times, we need to gather to eat fish more than ever.

CORRECTIONS AND OMISSIONS First in regards to the conversation that ended up with "swordfish" as the answer to what "shark" Paul was thinking of; what he may have actually had in mind was a sawtooth shark. A battle between a chainsaw and a sawtooth shark may have been both interesting and clever, which is most likely why it did not wind up in Sharknado 2. https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcThverwEajQZyqq31ZRLMFtKTfeLI6QehDW1vT9xLvyzUXaRpeR Second, to clarify on Mark McGrath being excited about smashing through 42. 42 is a retired number across all of Major League Baseball in honor of Jackie Robinson, who was the first black player in MLB when he joined the Brooklyn Dodgers. I assume McGrath was psyched because he loves destroying the symbol of a civil rights icon.

Well, uh... candlesticks always make a nice gift, and uh, maybe you could find out where she's registered and maybe a place-setting or maybe a silverware pattern.
