S02E06 Evil Dead Burn

EPISODE S2E06: "Evil Dead Burn" (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.Sébastien Vaniček, the man who made the excellent Infested, takes the sixth Evil Dead its own direction: a grieving widow heads to a remote family house to mourn her husband with his in-laws, and the weekend curdles into what some are calling the nastiest, bloodiest entry in the franchise. Eric walked out having had a good time. Josh walked out having timed the good parts, and he clocks about three watchable minutes in a nearly two-hour movie.This one is a real split. Josh, who is currently trying to cut hyperbole out of his vocabulary, wants it on record that he means it: he would sit through a Batman and Superman double feature before this again. Eric found enough standout sequences to send you home for it. (Josh paid thirteen dollars for two tickets and reports that was too much.)The hosts go a few rounds, no spoilers: whether this even feels like an Evil Dead movie, the camera that lives inside everyone's nostrils, how loose it plays with the lore, the abuse story it wants to tell and how hard it swings the shovel, and a finale that refuses to end. Dad argues there is a fun, gory movie in here. Josh argues there is a great Script Doctor prescription, and it is one word.Eric's Rating: VOD. Josh's Rating: Skip.Go see it, or don't, then come tell us who's wrong.
