The episode provides an extensive overview of a new Netflix documentary titled Selena y Los Dinos: A Family’s Legacy, which focuses on the life and career of the legendary Tejano singer, Selena Quintanilla-Pérez. It explains that the film, directed by Isabel Castro, uses thousands of hours of never-before-seen archival footage from the Quintanilla family's personal vaults to offer an intimate, unvarnished portrait of Selena, her family's struggles, and their rise from humble beginnings to international fame. The episode details Selena's path as the Queen of Tejano music in a male-dominated industry, highlighting the close bond and sacrifices made by her family—her father, Abraham, and siblings, Suzette and A.B.—who formed the band Los Dinos.
