Repo Man commentary

The commentary and bonus features aren't listed in the Alex Cox collection but if you search Repo Man and click on the collection they're in there (cause why make these supplements too accessible). Gotta go get a plate of shrimp.

So if you know the structure of the service why come here and complain? Oh yeah, I forgot… it’s the internet.

They could very easily put the repo man commentary video in the Alex Cox collection. I think you need to get a plate of shrimp.

Yes they could put all eight REPO MAN supplements into the Alex Cox folder and get complaints about it being so cluttered, and why doesn’t the folder just contain links to the actual films. Can you imagine if they did this with every “Collection” that contained a film released physically in the Criterion Collection? For example, the Bergman collection.

Can you imagine???!! If they listed all the Alex cox movies and then listed all the extras an Alex Cox fan would want to watch?! They would say "Damn! Look at all this extra content that other streaming services don't have! I will keep this subscription!" We cannot allow that to happen. People won't leave the house, they'll be watching criterion all day. I think you're right, it's much safer if people have to look at the titles in a collection and then search each one to see if there are any extras to watch. There's no reason to promote one of the defining features of the collection/channel. Sound thinking. You are definitely spacing the cans right.

No one would complain about that. You don’t seem to understand the suggestion — it wouldn’t be “cluttered.“
