The 3 that come to mind for me are Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The Princess
Bride. All three are poking fun at their respective genres but also are great
examples of the genre. I’m curious if Lemmy has other such examples.
The Orville. Homage more than parody I’d say.
Better Star Trek than a lot of actual Star Trek
After watching Season 2 of The Orville I’m of the opinion that Seth MacFarlane should be put in charge of the next mainline Star Trek series. The man truly gets Roddenberry’s vision.
Damn, really?? I never watched it because I can’t stand McFarlane but I have loved trek my whole life. I figured it would be a family guy version of Star trek.
It kinda starts out that way. People theorized that that’s what Seth needed to do to sell it. But by the of Season 1 it becomes the Star Trek you’ve been wanting. Season 2 continues it and the last season absolutely kills!
