Ok, I did a GIS for that guy and I like him on 30 Rock (I like everyone on 30 Rock). IMO he was the least offensive guy in the cast recoding, that or the guy presumably playing the Gene Kelly role.
Any track with muses getting all sassy (all those extra ELO songs I assume just padded out the show) were the worst, followed in badness by the fake-ONJ lady, whose voice I just didn't like. Everything else was acceptable. In fact maybe "Dancin'" was my favorite song in the cast recording, where it's my least favorite on the movie soundtrack.

just the 9 minute clip at the end of that post
it doesn't all take place in orbit, apparently, but the production values / visual design of the alien ship's control room are shockingly high for something I've never heard of
the dialog is even worse than the most mindless Sid and Marty Krofft show -- this looks like it's definitely worth knowing about
xpost ok that review has me wanting to leave work early
