"Corky Romano. I love that film. Literally, that’s one of the only films I’ve pissed my pants at. Like, I actually pissed my pants. The first time I was in L.A. I was watching it on TV. The scene where he’s on coke…was literally the only thing that they advertised, it was like the only point of the whole movie! I love that character. I love how Chris Kattan just stripped his whole career in one movie. The only guy off Saturday Night Live who just messed it up! It’s like, what happened? The only guy. That’s why I think it’s so great. I also love the behind-the-scenes stuff on the DVD where none of the crew are laughing; the director’s [hiding] and he’s telling Chris Kattan, “Just do something funny, just make Chris Penn laugh,” and none of the crew think it’s funny at all. And you can tell Chris Kattan is just freaking out. Also, he had that vein, which I have [Pattinson points to his forehead] which pops out of his head. I can really relate to him."

A great homage to The Next Generation for a new generation (0 more)
Some of the comedy is a little forced (0 more)
Star Trek for a modern audience
When trailers for The Orville and for Star Trek Discovery first did the rounds, I was more excited the The Orville than STD.
The Orville captures a feel for Star Trek that STD just doesn't. It shows a hopeful future that has its problems but tries to deal with them in a diplomatic/peaceful way but isn't afraid to show its teeth if cornered.
As with many new series, The Orville struggles to find its feet and find its balance between sci-fi and comedy. This is oh so evident in the first few episodes, which aim for humour a little too much and miss the mark. By later episodes, the balance is a little better. As the crew grows into their roles, the humour is better and more focused. Instead of gags thrown in it becomes more natural like crew playing practical jokes on each other, people mentioning foibles of other crew (which is funnier if you've SEEN said foibles in an earlier episode), elevator music, love/hate relationships and some seriously great cameos and appearances from A-list stars (even some Star Trek alum). The fact that The Orville has such great pedigree in the form of so many writers, actors and directors from various Star Trek series on board shines through with every new episode
I like all the characters on the ship, and their interactions are building a family on this little ship which makes me want to watch more.
The Orville has some of the best features of a Star Trek series, great ships, uniforms, aliens and stories with some humour thrown in. I cannot wait for a season 2 and would recommend this over STD all day long.

Surprisingly entertaining
Originally I decided to avoid this because I'm becoming annoyed with bog standard movies starring John Cena.... But as Netflix is becoming awkwardly limited in range...

This brilliant little gem was wonderfully entertaining, with its nice little story about family and friends as well as taking care of business haha.

Following a struggling crew of Smoke Jumpers (not to be confused with fire fighters lol) with by the book, no fun and games leader Duke (John cena) edging for a promotion to head firefighter who after rescuing 3 children from a house fire ends up babysitting the trio whilst waiting for their "out of town" parents to collect them creating nothing but chaos for the crew as they struggle to understand what is happening and how they will survive.

The casting was odd yet on point, the story and plot were wonderfully written and John cena can be entertaining.

A genuinely fun family film that will have you laughing unexpectedly.
