Sunday Lowdown: Expose Your Kids to Weird Muppets

Do kids these days even know what muppets are? There’s really no scientific way to know since no one can understand what they’re saying. But, this being a low key Sunday, LoCO recommends you, first, take the youngsters out into nature -- ‘cuz it’s really horrifyingly nice out -- then end your day by freaking your kids out courtesy their first muppet exposure. Where? The Arcata Theatre Lounge is showing The Dark Crystal (1982) tonight which, I promise you, is waaay weirder than you remember. Trailer below. Have funsies!
