Stranger, smaller-room, and in-the-know Scope NYC picks for Sunday, May 17.
A 5 AM Sunday marathon with Victor Calderone and Kilopatrah Jones is for the people whose weekend calendar does not reset at midnight.
Spoons Toons & Booze is exactly the sort of Nitehawk brunch chaos that turns cartoons into a social decision.
Betty Boop history at Film Forum is a tiny animation-nerd pocket tucked into a very full Sunday.
Tat Candy at littlefield has the right weird-show title energy for a Sunday afternoon that refuses to stay polite.

Lady Bunny doing a disco tea dance at C'mon Everybody is camp with a clock time, not just another drag-adjacent listing.
Peter Stampfel's Atomic Meta-Pagans sharing a Pianos bill with Spectre Folk and Joshua Burkett is wonderfully overstuffed downtown folk weirdness.

A windup-circus secret speakeasy at the Museum of Interesting Things is almost comically literal as a deep-cut Sunday closer.
