Recreate Netflix using TMDB Movie Database API calls

Cédric Bontems, creator of the Oxyprops Framework, is a talented dev who has some great advanced tutorials available. He recently started a series on rebuilding AirBnb where he creates components, parses stripped code from their site so be usable in Bricks, and solves complex dev tasks. He did a similar video about a year ago on recreating Netflix (Link). I remember watching it at the time and wanting to come back and try it all out. I finally got around to it.

Here is my start: https://netflix.brendan-oconnell.com/

There’s no data on the actual website, just php commands to pull and render the appropriate databases from TMDB (The Movie Database, open source IMDB, sort of?). Pretty cool to be able to do this in Bricks.

Thanks Cedric.
