Weekend Whats

What to Watch: Don’t let the fact that Paradise on Hulu starts off looking like a typical White House show about a president turn you off. It’s about something entirely different. And it’s a really tight and entertaining show.

+ What to Binge: Mikey Madison’s win as best actress in Anora makes this a good time to go back and check out the highly bingeable series she was in alongside Pamela Adlon. Better Things. (There’s an early cameo by Lenny Kravitz playing a guy named Mel.)

+ What to Hear: I’ve got some rap. I’ve got some pop. I’ve got you covered. Jaylah Ji’mya Hickmon has made a meteoric rise in the rap scene, including the winning of a Grammy for best rap album. You may know her by her stage name, Doechii. Check out her album Alligator Bites Never Heal, and her latest hit, Anxiety. Meanwhile, if you’re looking for some pop, Lady Gaga has returned to her roots (just when we need it most). Her new album is called Mayhem. (That would be a better name for this newsletter.)
