<p>Residue with Chrissy Champagne dives deep into the gritty world where true crime meets the movies. Each episode breaks down made-for-TV films and theatrical releases based on chilling real-life cases — exploring the facts behind the fiction, the victims behind the headlines, and the emotional residue these stories leave behind.</p><p>Still rooted in trust, instinct, and caution, Residue remains a space where true crime meets critical reflection. The original episodes are still here, but now we’re turning the spotlight on the stories Hollywood couldn’t resist — because sometimes, the scariest scripts are the ones that actually happened.</p><p><b>Stay paranoid.</b></p><p><br></p>
