Dad, You're Wrong - Episode 4: Keeper (2025)
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: SkipDad, You're Wrong - Episode 3: Rabbit Trap (2025)
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.

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: NyquilDad, You're Wrong - Episode 1: Vicious (2025)
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
