Richard LaGravenese, slighted by critic Gene Siskel over his screenplay for \u003ci\u003eThe Fisher King\u003c\/i\u003e (1991) wrote an unsavory character named Siskel into \u003ci\u003eThe Ref\u003c\/i\u003e (1994).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Movies and television shows often feature inside jokes. Sometimes there are characters named after crew members. Directors are often featured in cameo appearances--Alfred Hitchcock's silhouette can be seen in \u003ci\u003eFamily Plot\u003c\/i\u003e (1976), for example. This work catalogs such occurrences. Each entry includes the title of the film or show, year of release, and a full description of the in-joke.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Co Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54260096893272,"sku":"9780786438945","price":36.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780786438945_375ad7f2-3cba-4b10-9d23-515750b499d7.jpg?v=1765587649","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/film-and-television-in-jokes","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
