Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast
D.B. Cooper 2.0: The Skyjacker Who Stole $500K & Survived

Um, we actually, uh, didn't spend an outrageous amount of money on it.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast
D.B. Cooper 2.0: The Skyjacker Who Stole $500K & Survived

It was very indie production.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast
D.B. Cooper 2.0: The Skyjacker Who Stole $500K & Survived

We just took a lot of time on the production front and got our ducks in a row.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast
D.B. Cooper 2.0: The Skyjacker Who Stole $500K & Survived

And that was primarily me spearheading that we found an actual plane.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast
D.B. Cooper 2.0: The Skyjacker Who Stole $500K & Survived

We actually had two planes that had real rear staircases.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast
D.B. Cooper 2.0: The Skyjacker Who Stole $500K & Survived

We originally were going to shoot on an actual seven 27 with what they call the Cooper vein, which was the lock that locked the staircase and

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast

that they put on there after this man hijacked a plane.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast
D.B. Cooper 2.0: The Skyjacker Who Stole $500K & Survived

So he's responsible for that as well.

Unfortunately, we couldn't shoot at the Ontario airport where we found that plane because of, ironically, security.

So we had to go to a skydiving airport in Paris, California.

D.B. Cooper 2.0: The Skyjacker Who Stole $500K & Survived

All this was also shot in Southern California, all the recrees at least.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast

And had an actual skydiving crew and a plane that had a rear staircase.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast
D.B. Cooper 2.0: The Skyjacker Who Stole $500K & Survived

We were able to recreate all of that.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast
D.B. Cooper 2.0: The Skyjacker Who Stole $500K & Survived

So yeah, it was a fun, very, very intensive, involved production.

As to why Netflix or Hulu did not buy it, they had the opportunity, you'll have to ask them.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast
D.B. Cooper 2.0: The Skyjacker Who Stole $500K & Survived

There's a lot of mandates and things that they think the public wants, which I think a lot of the public disagrees with, and they buy what they think the public wants or they make what they think the public wants in it.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast
D.B. Cooper 2.0: The Skyjacker Who Stole $500K & Survived

I don't know if that's necessarily true, but it was not this initially.

D.B. Cooper 2.0: The Skyjacker Who Stole $500K & Survived

And we decided after some offers to distribute it ourselves because then we get to control it and we also get to distribute it how we want to.

Matthew Cox | Inside True Crime Podcast
D.B. Cooper 2.0: The Skyjacker Who Stole $500K & Survived

Yeah.

And most of them were.
