Evening Entertainment: The 1999 Sci-Fi Channel pilot (?) "Warped in Space"

Here's an oddity -- a pilot (or perhaps just a special) made for the Sci-Fi Channel (back when it WAS "Sci-Fi") starring Jim Jackman as the captain of a ship that's been all-but-destroyed due to an asteroid field.  He finds himself trapped with a trio of space losers (including an alien with the body of a woman and the voice of a man) in a hyper-frenetic situation with loads of ridiculous effects and plenty of quick-fire cultural references.  "Red Dwarf" looks like an obvious inspiration, but co-director/producer Chuck Cirino was also a director of mid-'90s oddity "Weird TV" and the Shadoe Stevens special "Shadoevision," both of which share similarities to this one.  Cirino is better known as a composer for a vast amount of the films of Jim Wynorski and Fred Olen Ray, and star Jackman played "Major Asshole" in SPACEBALLS.  Writer Eric Truehart later wrote episodes of "Invader Zim," including the great "Dibship Rising."
