Backrooms 2026
<p>EPISODE S2E05: "Backrooms" (2026)</p><p>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.</p><p>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 this thing and still cannot agree on whether you should see it.</p><p>Josh caught an early preview convinced this was the film to knock Obsession off the number one spot. He walked out wondering if it could crack the top ten. Eric rolled up with his buddy Joe in the Scooby-Doo van to a packed, dead-silent house that was fully pulling for it.</p><p>The hosts go deep on what works and what does not: Parsons's cold open and its roots in the original YouTube shorts, a sound design and eerie score that Eric calls some of his favorite of the year, the found-footage sequences that are easily the best footage in the film, the performances (Ejiofor commits, Dr. Mary Klein does not), and a Will Sudik screenplay they argue is where the whole thing comes apart. Josh says support it on the big screen. Eric says your couch is fine.</p><p>Plus: Josh breaks his own VHS Vault rule and brings a video game instead, Remedy's Control, the most Backrooms thing that is not Backrooms.</p><p>Eric's Rating: VOD. Josh's Rating: Watch in Theater.</p><p>Bring a flashlight. Then come back and tell us we're wrong.</p>

Passenger 2026
<p><strong>EPISODE S2E04: "Passenger" (2026)</strong></p><p>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.</p><p>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 his buddy Joe along for the ride. Eric and Joe laughed. They were the only people in the theater who did.</p><p>Josh leaned over to his partner sixty seconds in and said "I think we're in trouble." He had a worse time than the people getting murdered on screen.</p><p>The hosts work through Ovredal's cold open and its sound design, the cross-timeline trick that introduces our leads, why the male lead refusing to gaslight his girlfriend is the smartest writing decision in the film, what Melissa Leo is doing in here, and the script-doctor ending Josh argues the film should have had. Eric thinks two-thirds of this works. Josh thinks the worst thing a horror movie can do is make you feel nothing.</p><p>Plus: the role reversal for the ages. This week it is Josh telling Eric he is wrong.</p><p>VHS Vault: A Knight's Tale (2001), starring Heath Ledger, Alan Tudyk, and a soundtrack that has no business being that good.</p><p>Eric's Rating: VOD.</p><p>Josh's Rating: Skip.</p><p>Stick around past the closing notes. The hosts run a bonus chapter on the three best time-travel films ever made. If you have ever defended Triangle, Primer, or Time Crimes at a party, do not skip out early.</p>

Hokum 2026
<p>DYW S02E03: Hokum 2026</p><p>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.</p><p> </p><p>Josh enjoyed it. He sees a complete three-act story, a real character arc, and a director who keeps refining his craft from Caveat through Oddity into this. He came in blind, walked out grinning, and is ready to defend the film. Eric did not. Eric walked out feeling exactly like he did walking out of Undertone: good atmosphere does not make for a great film. He spends the episode making the case that McCarthy can build a mood like nobody else and still cannot land a through line, and that audiences should not have to do the homework in post.</p><p> </p><p>The hosts go beat by beat: the cold open, the end of the first act, the witch lore, the small details that either matter or do not, depending on whose side you are on. Josh argues forgiveness. Eric argues craft.</p><p> </p><p>In the VHS Vault, Josh pulls Galaxy Quest (1999) and makes a case nobody is going to argue with: it is the best Star Trek movie ever made.</p><p> </p><p>Eric's rating: VOD.</p><p>Josh's rating: Watch in Theater.</p><p> </p><p>This is a Dad, You're Wrong episode in the truest sense. Pick a side.</p>
