ShatnerKhan 1 \u2013 Part 1<\/a><\/p>\n

Shaking off the lingering effects of Rocket Man wasn\u2019t easy.\u00a0 But after enough refreshments were absorbed, we were ready to go forward.\u00a0 Believing they had sustained the worst shocks possible they were steeled to delve deeper into the less familiar works of William Shatner.\u00a0 They knew that I possessed one of the few copies of the 1984 made-for-tv movie, \u201cSecrets of a Married Man\u201d (SOAMM).\u00a0 A unanimous vote decided that it would be next.<\/p>\n

For those who don\u2019t know about this little known \u201ctreasure,\u201d Shatner plays an engineer, Chris Jordan, working on an important project that will make or break his career.\u00a0 He has a wife and kids but the wife (played by former Momas and Papas singer Michelle Philips) has been so busy with her own career that she has sort of neglected her conjugal responsibilities toward Chris.\u00a0 So, what with the stress of the project and his neglected libido, Chris starts availing himself of the services of various prostitutes.\u00a0 This provides moments of Shatneresque hilarity.\u00a0 One scene shows Shatner in the shower when suddenly he looks down and must see some kind of rash or other skin problem on his genitals and almost has a stroke in his own special Shatner style.\u00a0 In the next scene he has gone to some doctor other than his family general practitioner and is relieved to learn it\u2019s just an allergic reaction to soap or laundry detergent or \u201csomething else.\u201d\u00a0 One particularly funny scene involves Shatner driving down the main drag with his wife in the car and all the hookers are calling out to him \u201cHi Chris\u201d and Shatner is trying to explain to her how the name Chris is just hooker code for a new customer.<\/p>\n

This goes on way too long until finally he meets the dream girl.\u00a0 Cybil Shepard is a high-priced hooker who drains Shatner of cash and even has him second mortgage his house to keep up with his weekly visits.\u00a0 But when the hooker\u2019s pimp needs five thousand dollars Shatner\u2019s whole life falls apart as his wife finds out what\u2019s happening and leaves him and the police step in.\u00a0 We watched about forty percent of the show fast forwarding to the scenes where Shatner brought his unique acting abilities to bear on this stunning plot.\u00a0 But even that was too much.\u00a0 We finally shut it off.<\/p>\n

When it was over the delegates were restless.\u00a0 They felt we had strayed too far from the core of the Shatner canon.\u00a0 While it was agreed that SOAMM contained some powerful and unique Shatner moments nevertheless the unheroic nature of the role separated it from the true spirit of Shatner.\u00a0 Even the hideousness of Rocket Man maintained the heroic nature of the Shatner persona.\u00a0 We had a to regroup.\u00a0 So, after reviling SOAMM and making fun of Cybil Shepard\u2019s career that allowed her to play in this kind of movie we moved on.\u00a0 We decided to go back to the classics.\u00a0 And we picked for our next selection Space Seed.\u00a0 ShatnerKhan needed a little Khaaaaan!<\/p>\n

But first we decided to take a break and restore ourselves with our choice of refreshments.<\/p>\n
