By comparison, "The Irishman" was distributed by Netflix and exclusive<br>
to its service, which surprised me when it actually came out on physical<br>
media (Wikipedia article quote: "...[it] received director-approved<br>
special edition DVD and Blu-ray releases by The Criterion Collection on<br>

Hanks movie "Greyhound" from 2020 and it's the same type of issue:<br>
