John Kricfalusi Retrospective
"Steempy, you eeeediot!" …Ah, those words ring sweetly in the memories of the millions who discovered Ren and Stimpy back in the '90s. One of the first adult-oriented animations to become a series, R&S's delightful storylines included hairballs, peeing, pectoral muscle enhancement, and psychosis. Their creator, John Kricfalusi, was eventually fired from the Nickolodeon-owned series because his sense of humor was so foul. Still, America loves him just the way he is! This week, Kricfalusi will be screening some of his favorite works, including R&S episodes. Faint of heart, or stomach? Catch the kids' show Saturday afternoon… Date: Fri 7/28 & Sat 7/29, Time: 8pm Fri, 2pm & 7pm Sat, Place: Castro Theatre, Cover: $10 adults, $6 kids, More Info. (JH)
