John and Jamie from the True Crimecast return for a true crime first…the first non-murder case they’ve ever covered on the show! It’s one of the most famous unsolved mysteries of all time: D.B. Cooper! They break it down from the beginning – the night before Thanksgiving 1971, when a well-dressed man using the name Dan Cooper boarded a Northwest Orient flight, ordered a bourbon, passed a flight attendant a note claiming he had a bomb, demanded $200,000 and four parachutes, and then jumped out of a Boeing 727 into the dark, stormy Pacific Northwest… never to be seen again. They detail exactly what happened on the plane, why Cooper seemed to have inside knowledge of the aircraft, parachutes, altitude, and flight speed, and how he calmly pulled off the only unsolved hijacking in U.S. history. They also dig into the FBI investigation, the missing and mysteriously destroyed evidence, the ransom money found years later along the Columbia River, and why authorities ultimately closed the case. Plus, John and Jamie run through the top suspects, including military paratroopers, pilots, con men, and all the alleged deathbed confessions. They dissect why some believe Cooper never survived, why others are convinced he got away clean, and ultimately where they land on the mystery.

PJ Farley and the Pod of Thunder crew (Andy, Nick, and the mysterious Chris L) return for the most unhinged holiday watchalong yet as they hit PLAY on the Captain & Tennille Christmas Special that originally aired on ABC in December of 1976! What follows is a full-on descent into network TV madness featuring Don Knotts chain-smoking his way through an airplane sketch, Tom Bosley (aka Howard Cunningham from Happy Days) siting through his contributions to the show, the Pointer Sisters bringing the little energy that existed, and The Captain (aka Daryl Dragon) looking like the most miserable man ever trapped behind a camera (or a piano for that matter). The guys break down the baffling guest list, the nonstop ballads, the total lack of Christmas spirit, and the awkward 70s variety-show chaos – all in real time. It’s uncomfortable, confusing, unintentionally hilarious, and possibly the least joyful holiday special ever made!
