The Real Get To Da Choppa

In this episode of my Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace fan commentary series, I dive into Episode 3 – “Skipper the Eyechild”, one of the strangest (and funniest) chapters of the show.

A man gives birth to a giant eyeball, Dagless forms a disturbing parental bond, and Darkplace Hospital once again proves it may be the most dangerous workplace in Britain. We talk warped emotions, low-budget brilliance, surreal horror comedy, and why this episode perfectly captures Darkplace at its most unhinged.

As always, this is a fan commentary made with love for the show — expect appreciation, laughs, and a bit of madness.

Huge thanks to all the regular listeners and everyone who continues to support the podcast — it genuinely means a lot

In this episode of The Real Get To Da Choppa, I revisit War of the Worlds (1953) in 4K UHD, the legendary sci-fi classic that defined alien invasion cinema.

We dive into how the 4K restoration brings new life to the iconic Martian war machines, night-time destruction, and apocalyptic atmosphere, while also talking themes, effects, Cold War paranoia, and why this film still holds up over 70 years later.

This is a fan commentary podcast, made with love for classic sci-fi, physical media, and films that shaped the genre. Whether you’re revisiting it or discovering it in 4K for the first time, there’s plenty to dig into here.

This week I’m diving back into 80s creature madness with a full fan commentary on Critters 2: The Main Course

From the giant rolling critter ball to the shape-shifting space bounty hunters, this sequel goes bigger, sillier, and somehow even more fun.

I chat favourite moments, wild creature effects, why this sequel leans into the madness, and why Critters 2 has become a cult classic for horror-comedy fans.

The Odyssey discovers a lifeless city world, and when Yumi takes Numinor there hoping to bring him back to life, she uncovers a terrifying truth behind the planet’s technology. It’s one of the darkest and most emotional episodes of the series.

I break down key moments, themes, and why Flowers of Fear still hits hard all these years later.

Hell truly hath fury… and her name is Liz Asher.

In this episode of Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace Fan Commentary, we dive headfirst into Episode 2: “Hell Hath Fury” — the one where Liz completely loses it, starts floating, and uses telekinesis to turn Darkplace Hospital into a supernatural death trap.

We’re talking flying staplers, possessed filing cabinets, screwdrivers, irons, and one very unlucky temp. Along the way we break down the gloriously cheap effects, unhinged performances, accidental comedy, and why this episode perfectly sums up everything that makes Darkplace a cult classic.

If you love bad horror, worse dialogue, and maximum confidence with minimum talent — you’re in the right place.

Huge thanks as always to the regular listeners and supporters — you legends keep this going.

If you’re new, welcome to Darkplace… try not to die in the corridors.
