The rotten tomatoes consensus is, “Orphan fails to build on its interesting premise and degenerates into a formulaic, sleazy horror/thriller.”

Sort of.... “Alexa, connect my phone” will stream your phone’s audio through the Alexa speaker via Bluetooth. It shouldn’t require any additional steps since the Alexa device is already paired with your phone; you had to do that when your first set up the Alexa device.
