Continuing on with Disney Channel Originals Month, we take a look at a film that was not only ahead of its time but also is shockingly relevant in 2021: Smart House. Starring Katey Sagal and Kevin Kilner, the film features Sagal as PAT, a house-based AI that attempts to ingratiate itself to a new family that has moved into. It's similar to so many things but yet manages be both simultaneously entertaining and prescient. The host of Scary Stories We Tell Jess Byard joins Chris to talk about the film, the horrifying realities of the film, and Sagal's performance.
