    In 1995, as Madonna was at the height of her global fame, she became the target of a terrifying and highly delusional stalker named Robert Dewey Hoskins. Hoskins scaled the wall of her Hollywood home multiple times, cornered her staff, and left a horrific ultimatum: he claimed Madonna was destined to be his wife, and if he couldn't have her, no one could.

  • Cocaine Bear: Andrew Thornton
    Nov 3 2026
    In this episode, we dive into the bizarre true story behind Cocaine Bear and the man at the center of it all, Andrew Carter Thornton II. From his privileged upbringing in Kentucky horse country and military service to his involvement in an international drug-smuggling operation, Thornton's life took a series of unexpected turns that ended with a fatal parachute jump in 1985 and a cocaine shipment scattered across the Southeast. A drug-smuggling disaster, a black bear, and a duffel bag of cocaine became one of the strangest stories in true crime history.

  • Off Script: Ghostwatch (1992)
    Oct 30 2026
    Happy Halloween, ResiCrew! On today's episode of Off Script we will discuss the horror movie Ghostwatch that aired on BBC1 on October 31st, 1992. Ghostwatch was presented deceptively as a live investigative broadcast. This live broadcast tricked viewers into believing they were watching a real haunted house investigation where a family was tormented by a ghost named "Pipes". Watched by over 11 million people, the broadcast generated tens of thousands of complaints, scrutiny over broadcasting ethics, and report of a tragic suicide.

  • The Strangers: Keddie Cabin Murders
    Oct 27 2026
    The scariest horror movies are the ones that feel like they could actually happen. The 2008 film The Strangers taps into one of our most basic fears of being targeted by people we don’t know, in a place where we’re supposed to feel safe. The movie follows a couple whose night takes a terrifying turn when three masked strangers begin terrorizing them at an isolated home. The director, Bryan Bertino, was inspired to write The Strangers after hearing about a chilling unsolved case: the Keddie Cabin Murders. In April 1981, at Cabin 28 in Keddie, California, Sue Sharp, her teenage son John, and his friend Dana Wingate were murdered inside the family’s cabin. Sue’s 12-year-old daughter, Tina, disappeared that same night, and her remains were discovered years later, in 1984. Despite decades of investigation, unanswered questions, and renewed interest in the case, no one has been charged with the murders.

  • Off Script: Freddie Prinze
    Oct 23 2026
    Freddie Prinze was a pioneering stand-up comedian and actor who achieved meteoric fame in the 1970s before his tragic death at age 22. Proudly identifying as a "Hungarican" due to his Puerto Rican and German-Hungarian heritage, he became an overnight sensation after a legendary 1973 performance on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. He solidified his status as a cultural icon by starring as Chico Rodriguez in the hit NBC sitcom Chico and the Man, popularizing the catchphrase "Looking good!". Despite his massive professional success and the birth of his son, future actor Freddie Prinze Jr., Prinze struggled privately with severe depression and substance abuse, which tragically culminated in his death from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in January 1977.

  • The Birds
    Oct 20 2026
    Today we talk about a 1963 horror movie. We dive into Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds and the real-life mystery that may have inspired it. We'll also be chatting about the making of the film, fun facts, and a little bff talk ;) Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds (1963) is a classic horror thriller starring Tippi Hedren, Rod Taylor, Jessica Tandy, Suzanne Pleshette, and Veronica Cartwright. The film follows a California community as birds begin launching unexplained, increasingly violent attacks on people. It was inspired by Daphne du Maurier’s 1952 short story, The Birds, although Hitchcock made significant changes to the plot and setting for his film. I'd love to hear your interpretation of The Birds! Follow Residue on ...

  • Off Script: Balloon Boy
    Oct 16 2026
    The 2009 Balloon Boy incident became one of the most shocking media stories in American history when Richard and Mayumi Heene claimed their six-year-old son, Falcon, was trapped inside a homemade helium balloon floating across Colorado. As emergency crews and news helicopters tracked the balloon, millions of people watched in fear, believing a child’s life was in danger. When the balloon landed, Falcon was nowhere to be found, but he was later discovered hiding in the family’s attic. The incident took a disturbing turn when investigators concluded that the event had been staged for publicity, leading to criminal charges against his parents. The Netflix documentary Trainwreck: Balloon Boy revisits the bizarre hoax, exploring the family’s motives, the media frenzy, and how a supposed rescue mission became a nationwide controversy.
