That export will take quite a while with a 1080p movie file so just curious if there was another way.
yes, there's another way. here's helpful info from kitcastuff, which I've tweaked a bit and saved:
1. Get the just the jokes mp3 and the VERY important READ ME file.
2. Choose a program to extract the audio from the original movie file: VLC can do this and the instructions are widely available. (

3. Open the extracted film audio in Audacity. (

4. Drag and drop the riff into Audacity beneath the original movie waveform.
5. Lock the main film audio.
6. Cut off the rifftrax introductory 'welcome' section and paste it to the end of the track.
7. Slide the riff track left and right to correctly sync with the original track.
8. Use the timings given for the disembaudio cues to help line up the tracks.
9. If the riff audio has problems with syncing to your source, small cuts or silences may be necessary.
10. Perform any wanted compression or other alterations to the tracks.
11. Duck.
12. Render.
13. Extract audio.
14. Open MKVToolNix (with GUI) and open the original movie file. (

15. Drag and drop the audio version with riff in the sources; add .srt subtitles files at this step as well.
16. Set riffed audio as default; it also helps to name the audio tracks appropriately.
17. Check destination.
18. Start Multiplexing.
