5 in 5: Lady Gaga acts and Robyn returns

Every week, Stephanie Curtis chooses 5 things to read, watch, or experience.

1. "A Star is Born" lives up to the hype. It's much more intimate and natural than previous versions. Lady Gaga is a revelation.

2. "Fly Girls" by Keith O'Brien is an illuminating tale of ambitious pilots at the dawn of aviation. It's about thrill seeking and media circuses and how women were sidelined in sports and careers by the whims of men and concern trolls.

3. Are you average, reserved, self-centered or a role model? There are 4 personality types! Science says so. Take this test.

4. Intrigue: The Ratline is a BBC podcast on murder, war crimes, love, spies, and how quickly global politics can flip. It follows a Nazi and member of the SS, Otto Wachter, from pre-World War Two to his escape from justice after the fall of Hitler's regime.

5. Robyn is back! Her new single Honey was worth the wait.
