January 2023 Virtual Meeting, Post 5 of 8: More Special Cameos in SF/F

This is Post 5 of 8 this afternoon.

On ZOOM at this time, we discuss and take a look at more cool cameos in SF/F film and television!

9) MORE SPECIAL CAMEOS IN SF/F FILM AND TELEVISION

This presentation, by Josée Bellemare, is mostly on ZOOM, but here are three examples for the Web Site. Enjoy!

Highway to Heaven, Halloween episode, S4-E5
I was a middle age werewolf

The episode title is a sly dig at the film I Was a Teenage Werewolf (1957) which starred Michael Landon. Clips of it are shown throughout the episode, and Mark Gordon even says “This guy looks a lot like you.”

Ghostbusters/Star Trek episode S2-Ep47
Ain’t NASA-sarily so

The Ghostbusters are sent to outer space to the space platform Galileo. They must capture a particularly scary creature, while Peter is overjoyed about working under a government contract. The space platform is named “Galileo,” a reference to the shuttlecraft Galileo from Star Trek. The character “Yeoman Whitney” is a reference to actress Grace Lee Whitney who played “Yeoman Janice Rand” in “Star Trek The Original Series.”

 

Meatloaf & Barry Bostwick /Glee
Rocky Horror Picture Show

Barry Bostwick and Meat Loaf, who star in the original film, appear in cameo roles in this episode.
