they showed that eyewitness testimonies are generally pretty unreliable and you have to take them with a grain of salt
just because there is evidence of someone doing something suspicious does not mean they are the murderer or a suspect (ex. minor spoiler: just because a man is wearing the dead person’s shirt doesn’t mean that he’s the murderer it literally just means that he’s wearing the dead guy’s shirt and that alone is not evidence that he murdered him)

Things I didn’t like about The Residence:
they didn’t reveal in the last episode that Hugh Jackman actually was there and had been playing himself the whole time
that there were (SPOILERS!!) secret entrances and a candlestick, and there were zero Clue references :( like not even in the episode titles
Fandom terms have to sound silly, like blorbo or squick, because fandom needs humbling. Not a lot. But just every so often you need a good grounding reminder that all of this is literally made up nonsense for fun.
If you take a fictional thing so seriously that silly words genuinely annoy you, you’ve gone too far and you need to dial it back.
“What’s Up?” is a song by American rockband 4 Non Blondes, released in March 1993 as the second single from their sole album, Bigger, Better, Faster, More! (1992). The song was written by lead singer Linda Perry and produced by David Tickle. It received considerable airplay success. It reached number 14 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and went gold, but peaked higher in many other countries, reaching number one in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland while reaching number two in the UK and Australia.
The song had its origins well before 4 Non Blondes were formed. Third Eye Blind frontman Stephan Jenkins recalled sitting in a room with Linda Perry, who worked as a waitress down the street, performing their original compositions to one another when the two were struggling musicians in San Francisco. The two played each other early versions of “Semi-Charmed Life” and “What’s Up?”, both of which would become massive hits for their respective bands. “What’s Up?” was ranked number 94 on VH1’s “100 Greatest One-Hit Wonders” and number 86 on the MuchMore “The Top 100 One Hit Wonders”. In 2019, About.com featured it in their ranking of “The Best 100 Songs From the 1990s”. In 2024, Forbes magazine ranked “What’s Up?” number 47 in their list of “The 50 Best Songs of the 1990s”. The music video passed 1 billion views on Youtube in February 2021.
In 2005, a Fort Worth, Texas-based animation and video production company known as SLACKCiRCUS created a parody music video titled “Fabulous Secret Powers”. Inspired by Fenslerfilm’s G.I. Joe PSAs, the video pairs and edits footage from He-Man and the Masters of the Universe with a campy techno-house cover of “What’s Up” that also interpolates “Don’t Cry Out Loud” by Melissa Manchester. The video became a viral Internet meme, and the “Fabulous Secret Powers” video on Youtube has 7.3 million views as of February 2025. Both “What’s Up?” and “Fabulous Secret Powers” were featured in the 2023 film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. According to the film’s director Jeff Rowe, the inclusion of the SLACKCiRCUS cover was suggested by producer & co-writer Seth Rogen during a chase scene where Rogen considered to the team that they use “a crazy version” of “What’s Up?”.
