Dad, You're Wrong

EPISODE S2E05: "Backrooms" (2026) Welcome back to Dad, You're Wrong, the podcast where a Gen X dad and his millennial son keep score on this year's horror slate. Kane Parsons turns his viral YouTube nightmare into a feature, and Chiwetel Ejiofor plays Clark, a divorced furniture store owner who no-clips out of his own basement and into the Backrooms. Eric and Josh agree on almost every flaw in thi...

EPISODE S2E04: "Passenger" (2026) Welcome back to Dad, You're Wrong, the podcast where a Gen X dad and his millennial son keep score on this year's horror slate. This week the score gets weird. Andre Ovredal's Passenger (2026) takes van life, sticks a demonic stalker in the rearview mirror, and asks what happens to compassionate people who do the right thing on a dark country road. Eric brought hi...

DYW S02E03: Hokum 2026 Damien McCarthy's Hokum (2026) puts Eric and Josh on opposite sides for the first time this season, and it is the kind of split this show was named for. Adam Scott plays Om Baumann, a whiskey-drinking novelist who travels to a remote inn in Ireland to spread his parents' ashes and finds the place full of things he did not bargain for. Josh enjoyed it. He sees a complete thre...

DYW S02E02: Obsession 2026 Curry Barker's feature debut Obsession (2026) lands the rarest kind of episode for Dad, You're Wrong: the one where Eric and Josh agree on everything. Both hosts walked in blind. Both walked out with the same call. Both have it as their number one film of the year so far. This is a one million dollar monkey's paw cautionary tale starring Michael Johnston as Bear, a shy m...

DAD, YOU'RE WRONG — EPISODE 6: "A24, DO YOU HAVE MOMMY ISSUES?" Dad, You're Wrong is back for 2026, and Eric and Josh couldn't have picked a more fitting film to kick things off. Undertone is a film about a paranormal podcaster who probably should have stopped listening after the first audio file. It is ninety-three minutes of exceptional sound design, one remarkable performance, slow camera work...

S01E06: "The 2025 Top 10" - Our First Annual Horror Countdown It's the episode we've been building toward all year. Eric and Josh are joined by two very special guests—Luz and Shelly—to aggregate their individual top 10 horror lists into one definitive 2025 countdown. Four voices. Four lists. One brutal point system. Films rise and fall based on consensus, and some surprises emerge when wildly dif...

Episode 5: 'Dream Eater' When does "I can fix him" become "I can outrun him in the snow"? Eric and Josh tackle Dream Eater (2025), a found footage sleepwalking horror from directors Jay Kulik, Mallory Drum, and Alex Lee Williams. A filmmaker documents her boyfriend's violent parasomnia during a remote cabin getaway, but when his sleepwalking worsens, she suspects something far more sinister than a...

EPISODE 4: "Keeper" Episode Description (For RSS/Distribution) Oz Perkins returns with Keeper (2025), and Eric and Josh struggle to understand what happened. After the triumph of Longlegs, expectations were high - and this one doesn't meet them. They break down a film that's essentially one hour of setup and twenty minutes of payoff, question whether proven talent can miss this badly, and try to f...

EPISODE 3: "Rabbit Trap" Dev Patel stars in Rabbit Trap (2025), a slow-burn psychological horror set in the Welsh countryside that's sitting at 42% on Rotten Tomatoes - apparently the magic number for films we love. We analyze the impeccable sound design (critical when your leads are a sound engineer and synth musician), debate whether the Welsh countryside qualifies as a fourth character, and unp...

EPISODE 2: "Shelby Oaks" Chris Stuckmann's feature debut Shelby Oaks (2025) finally arrives, and we have very different reactions. Produced by Mike Flanagan and years in the making, this found-footage film about a missing paranormal investigation team has divided audiences - and us. We dig into the first act's promise versus the third act's delivery, debate whether YouTuber-to-filmmaker transition...

EPISODE 1: "Vicious" We kick off Dad, You're Wrong with Vicious (2025), Bryan Bertino's atmospheric slow-burn starring Dakota Fanning. Sitting at 42% on Rotten Tomatoes, this might be the most underrated horror film of the year - or proof that audiences know something we don't. We break down Bertino's signature tension-building from The Strangers and The Dark and the Wicked, debate whether Kathryn...
