Episode Description from the Publisher

DYW BONUS Episode! S02E02: Obsession 2026Curry 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 music store clerk with a years-long crush, and Indy Navarrette as Nikki, the childhood friend on the receiving end of one very ill-advised wish. Eric and Josh dig into Barker's restraint as a craftsman, the way he holds back just enough to keep the suspense alive when most modern horror is busy shocking or jump-scaring. They make the case for Indy Navarrette's performance as the horror Oscar of the year. They place Bear in the lineage of detestable modern leading men, alongside Companion's Jack Quaid and Holcomb's Adam Scott, and explain why he tops them both. And they trace the influences running through the film, from Sam Raimi to It Follows to Lost Highway.Eric's rating: Watch in Theater. Twice, if you can swing it.Josh's rating: Watch in Theater.This is the kind of episode the hosts have been waiting for. Go see the movie. Then come back and tell them they're wrong.
