Welcome back to The Big To-Do. Meteorologists are throwing around terms like “bomb cyclone,” so keep an eye on the weekend weather forecast, charge your devices, and cross your fingers. If a storm hits, the Living Arts staff’s recommendations for “how to spend a cozy weekend indoors,” assembled before last weekend’s snow, will probably come in handy. (Maybe just bow to the inevitable and bookmark this one).

The Grammy Awards are Sunday — read on for a different kind of forecast — which, incredibly, is Feb. 1. The Globe’s Matt Juul suggests you “heat up some hot cocoa and get comfortable with the latest titles available to stream,” including “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You,” with Conan O’Brien making his dramatic debut. Alexander Skarsgård hosts “Saturday Night Live,” with musical guest Cardi B. And The Rundown, the Globe’s new arts briefs section, covers a new home for Jean Appolon Expressions dance company and a new Broadway gig for Rachel Dratch, among other things.

It’s another huge week for sports, with the two biggest events at the end. The Australian Open wraps up this weekend, with the women’s final set for the wee hours of Saturday and the men’s final on Sunday. (If you’re following the competition but don’t have anyone to discuss it with, the Globe’s Mark Shanahan recommends “The Tennis Podcast.”) In college hockey, the men’s Beanpot starts Monday. The Winter Olympics kick off Feb. 6, running through Feb. 22. And as you may already have heard, the Patriots are headed to the Feb. 8 Super Bowl.

Movies

Dylan O’Brien as Bradley Preston and Rachel McAdams as Linda Liddle in "Send Help." BROOK RUSHTON/20TH CENTURY STUDIOS
 

Sam Raimi’s “Send Help” stars Rachel McAdams as a number-cruncher “in the most dire of straits.” After a plane crash during a work trip with her “dudebro” boss lands them on a deserted tropical island, “things get ugly—and hilariously grotesque,” Globe film critic Odie Henderson writes in a 3-star review. “After a 26 year absence from R-rated filmmaking, Raimi’s homecoming is a reason to celebrate.”

The Oscar-nominated animated feature “Arco” is “a time travel fable that feeds the heart as much as the brain.” Director and co-writer Ugo Bienvenu takes his influences and “synthesizes them into something breathtakingly original,” writes Globe critic Chris Vognar, awarding 3½ stars. The film “creates a world ... that pops to life in ways that go beyond storytelling. It feels both familiar and uncanny.”

In the 2½-star “A Private Life,” Jodie Foster plays a shrink in the present and a cellist in 1942. “There’s palpable excitement in being unsure where this movie is going. But let me tell you, you’re going to be mad when it gets there,” writes Henderson. “[I]t’s the journey, not the destination, that counts. That is, unless you’re making a murder mystery.” In French, with English subtitles.

Music documentaries come in almost as many varieties as musical acts. To find a dozen “documentaries that rise to the occasion of telling the viewer something meaningful,” Globe correspondent Stuart Miller spans 50 years and an impressive range of genres. His list starts with “A Film About Jimi Hendrix” (1973) and ends with “Little Richard: I Am Everything” (2023).

TV & Streaming

The documentary series “Rise of the 49ers” captures an NFL era that led to the rise of the Tom Brady-led Patriots. Beginning with “The Catch” in January 1982, San Francisco won five titles in 14 seasons. “Brady, who appears on camera throughout the series, comes off as an unabashed member of the 49er Faithful,” writes Globe TV critic Chris Vognar, a fellow member. And he “makes the case that his commitment to excellence came from the Niners.”

James Austin Johnson’s “virtuoso impersonation of President Trump” is one of the best “Saturday Night Live” has ever delivered — but it falls short. As Trump “takes one step after another on the road to authoritarianism (if we’re not already there), Johnson needs to recalibrate his portrayal to convey a greater sense of the menace Trump represents,” the Globe’s Don Aucoin writes in a barn burner of a critic’s notebook.

Grammy Awards

At Sunday’s Grammy Awards, big names abound in and beyond the big three of record, album, and song of the year. The album category in particular is a tangle of possibilities, including the non-zero chance that Lady Gaga becomes “the undisputed all-time not-winner.” Globe correspondent Marc Hirsh runs down trends like the rise of K-pop, five nominations “potentially solidifying Doechii’s industry cred,” and Boston-area artists’ strong showing.

The Grammy ceremony represents “a chance for the music business to put a happy face on an up-and-down year.” For the 15 highest-profile competitions in the 95 categories, Globe correspondent Maura Johnston draws “should win”/“will win” duty. Those predictions overlap in a whopping seven categories, with a hilarious forecast in the best rap album contest.

Music

Springsteen, shown here in 2018, said he wrote "Streets of Minneapolis" on Saturday "in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis." BRAD BARKET

Bruce Springsteen’s new song, “Streets of Minneapolis,” is “not cryptic.” It names and shames federal officials for their “baseless claims that masked ICE agents acted in self-defense when they shot Alex Pretti and Renee Good,” writes the Globe’s Mark Shanahan. The Boss “isn’t the only artist speaking up (or singing).” English singer-songwriter Billy Bragg calls his new release, “City of Heroes,” “a tribute to the bravery of the people of Minneapolis.”

Something in the Way Fest returns this weekend with “a grand total of 18 hours of music, with no overlapping sets.” The event “revolves around a cohesive blend of national artists from across the emo, punk, and alt-rock spectrum, but its foundation is firmly planted in Massachusetts,” Globe correspondent Victoria Wasylak writes for Sound Check. Headliners Sunny Day Real Estate and Explosions in the Sky are in the first group.

Brittney Parks, who performs as Sudan Archives, “has experienced a slow evolution at the forefront of American dance music.” The violinist, who plays Boston tonight, tells Globe correspondent Ken Capobianco “there’s this connection between fiddle music, church music, and rave culture in that they put you into this trance-like state.” Her most recent album, “THE BPM,” is “fun and dance-y, but a lot of it is about questioning my deepest fears.”

Theater

“Some Like It Hot,” an adaptation of the 1959 movie, is “a joyously entertaining musical.” What’s more, its “timely message — say, that transgender people have a right to be who they are and live as they wish — comes through loud and clear but is seamlessly wedded to story and character.” After intermission, writes Globe theater critic Don Aucoin, the show “starts to elevate, almost levitate, and turns into something really special.”

Museums & Visual Art

Victor Hugo, "Fantastic Castle at Twilight," 1857. THE MORGAN LIBRARY & MUSEUM

“Shadow Visionaries,” at the Clark Art Institute, incorporates “bursts of the truly extraordinary that hold your attention and propel you forward.” Subtitled “French Artists Against the Current, 1840-70,” the exhibition is “a gratifying plunge into the era’s countercurrent of darkness,” writes Globe art critic Murray Whyte. It “explores a lament, mostly stifled, for the loss of history and culture in a time of overbearing modernization.”

“Your Work Here” unites the work of more than 100 members of the Photographic Resource Center. Incorporating at least eight formats, the annual exhibition is “the visual equivalent of a pot luck,” writes the Globe’s Mark Feeney. “This doesn’t mean there’s an absence of complementarities, affinities, and shrewd hangings.” As the center turns 50, the show “is a fine way to kick off a year-long celebration.”

Comedy

Janet McNamara released a new special, "Not Smart Enough," last week. ILYA MIRMAN

Janet McNamara says she’s “always been good. People just had to jump on the wagon.” She released her new special, “Not Smart Enough,” through Eugene Mirman’s Pretty Good Friends label. “She is an incredible jokesmith,” Mirman tells Globe correspondent Nick A. Zaino III. “Each sentence is so well structured with the last. And yes, it has this very Boston-y, acerbic quality. But at the same time, it is very perfectly structured.”
