    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.

  • The Accused

    The Accused
    Oct 6 2026
    In 1983, Cheryl Araújo became the center of a highly publicized criminal case in New Bedford, Massachusetts. What began as a night out quickly became a case that drew national attention and raised difficult questions about the justice system, the treatment of survivors, and the role of witnesses. The trial attracted intense media coverage, and the way Cheryl's story was presented and discussed publicly became an important part of the case itself. Five years later, the case inspired The Accused, a 1988 film directed by Jonathan Kaplan and starring Jodie Foster and Kelly McGillis. The film is a fictionalized story, not a direct retelling of Cheryl's life. Foster plays Sarah Tobias, while McGillis portrays prosecutor Kathryn Murphy. The Accused brought many of the issues raised by the case to a much wider audience, while also becoming an award-winning film, with Foster receiving the Academy Award for Best Actress.

    Off Script: Gary Coleman
    Oct 2 2026
    Gary Coleman became one of the most recognizable child stars in television history almost overnight. As Arnold Jackson on Diff’rent Strokes, he captured audiences with his humor, his timing, and the unforgettable line, “What’chu talkin’ ’bout, Willis?” But behind the laughter was a much more complicated life. The 2024 Peacock documentary Gary, directed by Robin Dashwood, looks beyond the famous child star and focuses on the person behind the image. Through archival footage and interviews with people who knew Coleman (including Todd Bridges, his parents, former managers, friends, and ex-wife Shannon Price) the film traces his rise to fame, his struggles with money and health, his complicated relationships, and his final years living in Utah.
