Did you catch these Black Mirror cameos?

Dunst’s appearance, particularly, is a sort of blink-and-you-miss-it appearance, while Aaron Paul cameos through only his voice which after watching five seasons of his whining and utterances of “Bitch!” in Breaking Bad we can easily recognise.

Jesse Plemons stars as the captain of a spaceship called USS Callister. He is a commanding presence, with slicked-back hair and authoritative voice when addressing his underlings. Turns out, the whole thing is a game, and the real-life version of Plemons’ character is a meek, underconfident CTO who has created this game to live out a fantasy that is vastly different from his real life. In the game, he can bully his colleagues or at least a version of themselves.

Back to the cameos. Dunst’s appearance, as already mentioned momentary, and it comes early on in the show. You will certainly miss it if you do not know what you are looking for. Aaron Paul’s voice, though, comes towards the end. When a real-life gamer connects to the crew inside USS Callister. His voice is eerily reminiscent of Jesse Pinkman, and one can notice the same irritable impatient cadences.

Black Mirror’s fourth season streams on Netflix.
