Another month of quarantine – but, on the bright side, that also means another month of new shows to stream, books to read, and music to add to your self-isolation soundtrack. Read on for what we’re most excited about this week.
MOVIES/TV
Skate Kitchen director Crystal Moselle brings her talents to the small screen with Betty, a new comedy-drama about young women navigating the world of skateboarding. Premiering May 1 on HBO, and stay tuned for further coverage on BUST.com.
Introverted, smart teen Ellie helps a jock classmate win over his crush—a girl she also secretly likes—in Netflix’s queer take on Cyrano de Bergerac. Streaming May 1.

MUSIC/PODCASTS
“Savage Remix” by Megan Thee Stallion ft. Beyoncé
Houston icons Megan Thee Stallion and Beyoncé teamed up for a remix of Meg’s viral song “Savage” – and for a good cause, too. Proceeds from the song’s streams will go towards disaster relief organization Bread of Life. Listen now.
We might have to wait a little longer for trio HAIM’s third album, but at least we have one more song of Women in Music Pt. III to enjoy—and, fittingly for now, it’s all about loneliness. Streaming now.
Such Pretty Forks in the Road by Alanis Morissette
Morissette’s ninth studio album, which she’s been reportedly working on since 2017, will be her first in eight years. Out May 1.
Invasion of the B-Girls by Josie Cotton
This reissue of ’80s icon Cotton’s long-lost gem is slated for a new release May 1! Cotton took her inspiration from her favorite ’60s and ’70s B-movies, and we were excited to premiere one of the tracks on BUST.com.
BOOKS
All Adults Here by Emma Straub
Bestselling author and bookseller Emma Straub returns with another humorous, perceptive novel about family and all its complications. At its center is mother of now-adult children who, after witnessing a tragic accident, begins confronting the kind of parent she was. Out May 4.
