Before Netflix made their documentary, Dos Gringos captured the true spirit of the USAF Thunderbirds. Born in the trenches of a fighter squadron and fueled by the finest Jeremiah Weed, Dos Gringos turned the fighter pilot life into a soundtrack—raw, irreverent, and unapologetically real.

Before Netflix, before the MCU, before hallway fights — Daredevil (2003) brought us a leather-clad Ben Affleck, a playground brawl flirting scene, and one very unhinged Bullseye. In this episode, we revisit the early 2000s cult classic that divided fans but paved the way for a grittier Matt Murdock down the road. From fiery DD logos to rooftop water pods, we're breaking down the big beats, iconic moments, and wild vibes of this unique Marvel time capsule. How does it hold up in 2025? Let's find out.
Before Netflix's "Dirty Pop: The Boy Band Scam" Teresa Lee (Girls5eva) joined the Con-gregation to break down the scams and abuse of Lou Pearlman—the man who launched the careers of *NSYNC, The Backstreet Boys, and Britney Spears but conned the musicians out of their hard-earned money and ran one of the largest Ponzi schemes in U.S. history.

Before NETFLIX produced the shocking documentary, The Making of a Murderer. Burl Barer was all over Prosecutor Michael Griesback about the police framing Steven Avery for murder, and once he was released....did they do it again? Burl believes this is a vile frameup! (get it? Vile? Listen and you will understand) This is a classis episode!
Richard Macduff is not himself Everything is connected! Before Netflix adapted Douglas Adams' beloved Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, there were two BBC Radio series featuring Harry Enfield as the oddball detective. Dirk Gently is a detective with a difference. Based on his belief in the fundamental interconnectedness of all things, he investigates mysterious circumstances through a holistic approach – if everything is connected then he might just ask you to buy him pizza so he can glean clues from that pizza through holistic techniques. Or maybe this just started as a scam to get free pizza – but his encounters with the bizarre and occult, and his outcomes speak for themselves

Before Netflix, Facebook or Google even existed, a small group of entrepreneurs took a huge risk launching what would become the first major internet service. In today's Leadership Spark, Steve Case, Co-Founder of AOL and CEO of Revolution LLC, shares his journey of what it took to get America Online off the ground before people even heard of the Internet. While most people would think investing in internet companies in the 80's was CRAZY RISKY, Steve had a vision that this new technology could change the world if they could just get it into people's hands. In this interview, he shares never-before-told stories of the challenges they faced connecting users at dial-up speeds and convincing skeptical investors to back their idea. Steve also touches on how Revolution now does its part in funding and investing in companies of the future. ________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.

When it comes to church history, many Christians can tell you about the the book of Acts, the Protestant Reformation, and then maybe Billy Graham did something in the 1950s. "Didn't he start The 700 Club?" There's about 2,000 years of vibrant church history that often gets overlooked, and so much of where we are today as the Body of Christ is a result of the work that was done after the Apostles, from A.D. to B.N. (Before Netflix.) I talk with Linley Ali about just some of what happened and how it played out to where we are now. Get your notebooks ready.

Before Netflix would drop The Night Stalker documentary. Before Ramirez would be responsible for torturing dozens more before being captured in 1985. Before Richard would become an international news story and would have a cult following of female fans and got married while behind bars. Richard's reign over southern California lasted from June 1984 until August 1985. His satanism and sheer lack of concern for human life cemented his place in history as one of the most prolific "people" of our time. After binge-watching the show there still wasn't a whole ton of information given about his childhood or his decades served in prison. I mean the dude even got married in there to some woman with seriously questionable taste.
Before Netflix decided every franchise needed a gritty reboot, they made 80s hit tv series Miami Vice.... a gritty reboot. Starring Colin Farrell and Jamie Fox, get ready for hearing a lot of FBI jargon about going undercover and about deals. The deals going down here, we gotta finish the deal, we're the right guys for the deal. And hey, if you like a no-nonsense cop drama, this is your flick. But personally we need a little more 'Buddy' to our 'Cop', a little more wisecracks and a little less transporting crack. I mean we also love it when a cop has an unlikely sidekick. A psychic sidekick? Good. A dog sidekick? GREAT. Alas, Miami Vice offers up a more tight laced type of fun (?) and in an unlikely turn of events, Maria outlasts Sam who could not focus enough to watch the rest of this movie!! Her excuse, not enough whimsey, too much Audioslave. Follow us on instagram @unsolicitedflickpickspodcast
Before Netflix and other streaming services, some of the only entertainment available in the wee hours of the morning was the infomercial. In this episode of the podcast, I share with you some of the purchases I made over the years either directly from, or inspired by these advertisements. The post Ep 42: As Seen on TV- Stuff infomercials sold me appeared first on Thumb and Hammer.

How many of you remember something called television? Before Netflix and Hulu, do you remember checking the TV Guide then setting aside a certain time in your schedule to sit down and watch your show? Every once in a while an episode would end with the dreaded phrase To Be Continued. But back then there was no such thing as “binge watching.” We had to wait! Here’s the point: the anticipation of what was next kept us coming back for more. Despite our current circumstances, we are anticipating something great on the horizon. How? Because knowing we’re loved by God today brings us security and confidence for tomorrow. His love nourishes us and turns our anxiety into excitement.
Before Netflix, there was Ben Affleck. We review the first cinematic adaptation of Marvel's Daredevil!
As we look at the early church, we see the faithful gathering and gaining strength from being together. In the same way that a log burns best when it’s with other burning logs, we must be where other believers are on fire for the things of God!You may get tired of the pastor’s preaching; you might get tired of the music played at the beginning of service; you won’t get tired of being used by God to love and serve the people around you!Pastor Mike recalled a time he and the youth group went to serve at a church in the south, and were told that Sunday service dress code was just regular clothes. On that morning, the older ladies of the church made a scene with gossip and shaming about how Mike and his youth group were dressed - even though they were wearing what they were instructed was OK! That event stuck with Pastor Mike, because of how unwelcome and ashamed the people made him feel, and has shaped his perspective today. Before Netflix, people in the old days would go eavesdrop on the big parties the Pharisees would have. The Pharisees would leave the gate open so that commoners knew they could come listen in but not be officially invited. The common people would have heard how the Pharisees keep clean by specifically not associating with common people who were sinners. This one particular day, a woman came walking into the middle of the party. There wouldn’t have been any women other than servants, and servants even wouldn’t have come right into the middle of things!Luke 7:36-42 tells the story, and knowing culture, ‘a woman who lived a sinful life’ means she was a prostitute. Everyone knew who she was - and shockingly came right up to Jesus! How scandalous- a very sinful woman walks into a party of ‘clean’ people and touches Jesus! Not only did she touch Jesus but she poured perfume that’s a tool of the prostitution trade and her only asset, and then she took down her hair! In the culture a woman shows her hair and breaks the law, but if she shows her hair and takes it down it’s an act of seduction! But with all the looks of shock and flares of disgust and words of condemnation... Jesus sees a completely different scene. The Pharisees saw a sespool of human waste, acting in a horrific manner right before their eyes, and acting towards a man that’s supposed to be a miracle working prophet. Jesus saw something completely different. He saw her whole life, the things that lead her to this life of sin, and the weight of shame and the desperation to be clean, and free, and whole. The Pharisees wanted to prove Jesus was wrong, this woman was desperately hoping He’s right.Read verse 47 - Jesus even validates her love! Love is something that is completely absent for those caught on the life of prostitution- and Jesus, in front of all of these ‘clean’ men, that a woman, a filthy woman, has shown great love!We are welcome, and wanted, and invited into the kingdom of God. Maybe God has been misrepresented to you in your life, maybe you’ve never felt like you could even be allowed into the family of God - read that story again, and let it sink in the way He saw the woman who burst into the party.Are you in? You’re in the kingdom of God if you’ve put your faith in Jesus.
If you remember Blockbuster, raise your hand. For those of us who may not be familiar, Blockbuster was a household name for the movie and video game rental business, especially in the 90s and 2000s. Before Netflix and Redbox existed, Blockbuster was the hangout spot on Friday nights (for kids and adults alike). However, as we know, just because a company is on top today, doesn't always mean they'll be on top forever. There are many factors as to why a business may fail (i.e. competition, leadership, technology). Tune in today as Jamison talks about why blockbuster failed and what we can learn from their demise. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/legendvest/support
Video Marketing Mastery with Todd Hartley: Online Video Strategy | YouTube Tips | Video Production
Before Netflix there was Blockbuster. Remember them? They went out of business because they didn’t adjust to the online world.

Together, we dive deep into some megatrends that will help you create binge worthy buying experiences for your customers. Plus, we’ll discuss how Netflix has been able to consistently satisfy their customer’s needs, and how you can apply these marketing lessons in your business. ? So if you want to know what these megatrends are and how you can take advantage of them to grow your business, tune in to this episode of Video Marketing Mastery!
Before Netflix rebooted Queer Eye this year, I had never watched an episode of the original, Queer Eye For The Straight Guy. When that series premiered in 2003, gay men were rarely represented on television as anything more than a token, much less the faces of an entire series. Back then, the general opinion, at least where I was raised, was that the media was “shoving homosexuality down our throats”; alongside Will & Grace, Queer Eye For The Straight Guy was a chief culprit.
Before Netflix was the go-to digital destination for movies, there was this quaint thing called “The Video Store.” The Friday and Saturday night ritual for many of us included a trip to this now-extinct locale, a place where rows and rows of physical videos – via the now defunct technology known as VHS tapes – promised a night of romantic comedy, blood-curdling horror or, for the less adventurous, good old family fun. It seems quaint now, going to a physical location to pick up movies on VHS or later via DVD, but going to these stores was a big part of the fun, anticipating the weekend with the promise of a good flick or two, recommended by the friendly clerk behind the counter.
