‘They pulled a guy’s face off. It’s my favourite bit!’ Linda Cardellini on Freaks and Geeks, Mad Men and slasher horror Crystal Lake

A Friday the 13th prequel series produced by A24? Halloween has come early for gorefest fans. Linda Cardellini plays small-town single mother Pam Voorhees, who takes her son Jason (Callum Vinson) to summer camp where she works as a cook. But one day Jason drowns in the lake. Fast forward a year, and Pam is grieving but clings to a shred of hope as her son’s body still hasn’t been found. When two cops knock on her door to tell her they have discovered Jason’s remains, things take a huge turn – and it turns out there’s more to her and Jason’s story than meets the eye … It has all the jump-scare beats of a classic 70s slasher movie and Cardellini gets stuck in – blood, guts and all.

Some performance engines, like the 8.0-plus liter V10 in the Dodge Viper, are known for their displacement. Others, like the 3.5-liter V8 in the F355 F1, are known for their high revs. Usually, this is a one-or-the-other affair: performance engines tend to deliver big on either displacement or revs, but usually not both. The ones that do are considered particularly exotic, because delivering both high revs and high displacement requires overcoming some daunting engineering challenges.

From the March 1995 issue of Car and Driver. Let’s be honest here: the reason sport-utility vehicles are selling faster than earplugs at a Michael Bolton concert is not because global tem­peratures are down and average snowfall is up and Americans need four-wheel drive in order to reach the video store for those adult-education tapes hidden behind that veil of beads. It’s because, in contrast to other roomy conveyances like station wagons and minivans, every SUV projects an image. The Hummer wears a Gold’s Gym body. The Grand Cherokee is as outdoor­chic as an Orvis flyrod. And the Mitsubishi Montero SR, the object of this review, packs all the techno-wizardry of a Sharper Image catalog. Aaron Kiley|Car and DriverThose who enjoy Pentiums and DirecTV and EOS cameras will feel immediately at home in the SR. The instru­ment cluster is straight off the set of The Hunt for Red October, with gauges for everything from four-wheel-drive mode to oil pressure to volts to a useful new elec­tronic compass and exterior-temperature display that replaces the frivolous “lean­-angle” inclinometer. Why, the SR has more buttons than a Marine Corps parade.

In Mani Haghighi’s new film, an artist’s extensive archive draws the ire of the authorities. I Deserve a Lover Whose Every Rise Sets Fiery Dooms Raging Across the Skies (2026) poster (all images courtesy Film at Lincoln Center)Mani Haghighi’s documentary, I Deserve a Lover Whose Every Rise Sets Fiery Dooms Raging Across the Skies (2026), opens with a diverse group of stone-faced archivists in a beautiful, jewel-toned room lined with books and ephemera. They suit up in masks and gloves to root through garbage bags filled with photo albums, broken pottery, and other artifacts of unknown provenance, caked in dirt and debris. However, as the Iranian director’s voice-over narration explains, “This film wasn’t meant to begin this way.” Authorities confiscated the footage Haghighi shot for the original opening, “a girl standing on a foggy mountain road, searching for a phone signal,” when they raided the film crew’s hotel room in Tabriz. Their crime was depicting a woman without a headscarf. I Deserve a Lover Whose Every Rise Sets Fiery Dooms Raging Across the Skies is a document of documentation — of discovery, preservation, and remembrance.

“The exhibition in no way presents her as an Impressionist,” exhibition cocurator Stéphanie Cantarutti told ARTnews .

Is there a better no-frills standup at work today than Kevin Bridges? You’d struggle to find a more unfussily funny demonstration of the art form’s traditional virtues than at the Glaswegian’s new touring set. It’s a consistently laugh-out-loud suite of observational material on subjects comics have addressed since time immemorial: nostalgia, marital dispute, the latest cultural trends – alongside, as Ben Elton used to have it, a little bit of politics, too. Bridges really does have the X factor, and – without him ever seeming to stretch himself – Here If You Need Me is a steamroller 75 minutes of standup. For me, it needed to be, after being hit by a £10 – 10 pounds! – cloakroom charge because my innocuous wee bag (a notebook, a novel, a pair of glasses) was apparently too incendiary to be allowed into the venue. Oh that Bridges would turn his satirical eye on that racket. But the show starts with more obvious targets: Donald Trump, whose “negotiating” techniques our host burlesques in a violent dialogue with his electrician; and Benjamin Netanyahu, pausing before another act of destruction to check out Bridges’ Instagram feed.
