Shatner vs. Myers

Shatner vs. Myers is the 44th episode of The Cheap Cartoon Show and the second installment of Ali and J At The Movies. The trailer featured in this short is for a courtroom drama directed by Oliver Stone, titled Shatner v Myers: The Night He Boldly Came Where No One Has Come Before.

Synopsis
After 40 years of donning a Captain Kirk mask, William Shatner has sued Michael Myers for copyright infringement and associating his "manly face" with a long history of grisly murders. The case has seemingly driven Shatner insane; he begins smearing horse semen over his face in an attempt to look like Michael and accuses his wife of thinking about Michael during sex.

The case is overlooked by an exhausted judge, who openly smokes and falls asleep during the trial.

Michael does not show any emotion during the trail, and continues going on his killing spree. At one point, he is shot during a public speech to no avail.

The trailer ends with Michael taking the judge's gavel and beating the bailiff to death, which the judge allows.

The short proper ends with Ali performing fellatio on J, which is interrupted by a employee. Ali tells the "pizza-face" employee to mind his own business before asking for napkins to clean her mess.

Behind the Scenes
The trailer within the short is a juxtaposition between Star Trek and the Halloween franchise. It is based on the real-life origin of the Michael Myers mask, which is indeed a Captain Kirk mask spray-painted white.

Throughout the short, Shatner quotes the lyrics to Rocket Man by Elton John. This is an homage to his infamous 1978 Rocket Man performance. He is also shown smoking a cigarette in a very similar fashion as seen in the Rocket Man performance.

Shatner sleeps with an Emmett Kelly ventriloquist dummy. Before John Carpenter discovered the Shatner mask, the Michael Myers character was to wear an Emmet Kelly clown mask in Halloween (1978).
