There's AI. There's teen angst. There's a dinner party from hell. Is the house haunted? Hacked? Emotionally manipulative? Who knows—certainly not the characters. Join us as we untangle this digital mess, roast some questionable parenting choices, and wonder aloud how many lines of code it takes to ruin a family vacation. (Written by ITMTron)
