I have tried to watch this several times and just can't seem to get into it. I like the concept, but find the whole plot device of being trapped in space yada yada to be unnecessary. If they would just start the movie and skip the skits and kooky wigs....

I would try Rifftrax if you like the movie riffing concept.  It's just the riffing...no skits or puppets or mad scientists.  Or just try out a MST3K shorts collection. Those are typically pound-for-pound the best riffing the series had to offer.
