Dad, You're Wrong

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 that borrows heavily from the right toolboxes, and a script that Eric and Josh land in very different places on.Josh walked out wanting to watch it again that same day. Eric checked his phone three or four times.They dig into the analog versus digital horror debate, the Skinamarink and Iron Lung comparisons, the unreliable narrator theory that might explain everything, the threads that never get tied, and why the sound design is either the whole movie or the problem with the movie depending on who you ask. Josh makes the most coherent case for the ending either of them has heard. Eric almost agrees.VHS Vault: Josh finds a Sundance screener of Darren Aronofsky's Pi (1998) at a thrift store in Pilsen. It connects to this episode more than you might expect.Plus: what is coming next, why trepanning came up, and the question this film kept making Eric ask about A24's recent output.Eric's Rating: VOD Josh's Rating: Theater

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 medical condition.They break down the Lovecraftian mythology, debate whether the chemistry works, and discuss why this film with so many ingredients they love somehow doesn't add up to a satisfying meal. Plus: the cartoonish Unsolved Mysteries vignette that ripped them out of the story, why you should always pack your bags when your partner starts crab-walking at 3 AM, and the disappointing CGI demon reveal that wasted the film's potential.VHS Vault: The Gate (1987) - Stephen Dorff battles stop-motion demons in peak '80s horror excellence.Eric's Rating: Skip Josh's Rating: Free

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 find something positive to say about a movie that neither host recommends. The shortest episode yet, because sometimes there's only so much you can say without just tearing something down. Plus: Small Soldiers (1998) in the VHS Vault - a film that actually delivers on its premise.Eric's Rating: Skip Josh's Rating: Skip

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 unpack the fairy tale folklore woven throughout. With only three actors carrying the entire runtime, the performances either make or break this one.Plus: The murmuration of birds that opens the film and why it matters more than you think.Eric's Rating: Theater Josh's Rating: Theater

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 transitions can work, and confront the elephant in the room: hellhounds and flashlights. One of us is putting it in our top ten. The other is calling it the most disappointing film of the year.Plus: DIY Halloween costume breakdown featuring an Exorcist priest with authentic pea soup vomit recipe.Eric's Rating: Theater Josh's Rating: Nyquil

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 Hunter's performance is mesmerizing or maddening, and ask the critical question: If you receive a mysterious box, do you pretend you've never watched a single Twilight Zone episode?Plus: Vampire Hunter D (1985) emerges from the VHS Vault with a warning about checking your tapes for mold.Eric's Rating: Theater Josh's Rating: Theater
