  • Netflix vs Blockbuster - Sudden Death | 1
    Feb 6 2018

    This is Episode 1 of an 8-part series on the brutal business battle between Netflix and Blockbuster, and later HBO.

    It all started around 1997, with a guy named Marc Randolph and his mathematician friend Reed Hastings. Randolph and Hastings knew they’d have to take on Blockbuster, but what they didn’t anticipate was that their business model would take on network television and eventually change the entire movie industry.

    This was an 8-year total war that left innumerable casualties in its wake: thousands of hollowed out buildings and economic losses in the billions.

  • Netflix vs Blockbuster - Origins | 2
    Feb 6 2018

    After Hastings pleaded with Antioco to buy Blockbuster Online, Antioco agreed to present Hasting’s proposal to the board. What he didn’t tell him was that he was pushing the board to reject the offer so Netflix would wither and die. Meanwhile, Netflix was struggling to gain legitimacy in Hollywood. Netflix quickly realized that before it could take on the Hollywood gods, it would have to slay Blockbuster.

Love this podcast.

I've listened to every episode and they are great. I feel like I'm apart of the action a lot of time rooting on the company I prefer and learning a lot about both as we go.

Why changing the music

I like the stories and the way you made them but The recent stories music is boring.
Please keep the old motivating music.
