      Too many cooks, too many cooks!

      I wonder if the same team saw the success of those two and decided to make a movie.

    Wish physical releases where still a thing. I don’t want to pay if I’m not allowed to watch it in the future without streaming bullshit.

              I don’t know where you live, so I can’t visit your local library to find out. But, if they do, it won’t be because of magic.

              ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                It would have to be magic as the movie has no physical release. Wtf.

                  Someone could download the movie, burn it to disc, and then donate it to a local library. Nothing magic about that. Unless personal generosity is magic.

          I’m not going to give advice on how to pirate, but you should understand that physical media like DVDs and Bluray are just digital content burned into a physical disk.

          So if you were to acquire a digital copy of something, and some physical media you could save it to, you would wind up with a physical copy of that thing.

          Possible options:

          1. Rob hard drives from the editors which hopefully still have the whole movie on them
          2. Pirate it, then burn it to DVD (or just keep in digital format since that’s easier nowadays)

          If you have any questions about what sites to avoid so you don’t accidentally pirate anything fmhy.net has many links to streaming sites, torrenting sites, and guides for how and where to safely pirate various types of media.

              Physical copies are not being commercially distributed through official channels. Current official distribution seems only to be through streaming channels and limited theatrical release.

              If you want a physical copy, piracy would appear to be your only current option.

              Again, you can write the file to a dvd. Even if you don’t have a dvd burner, your local library probably has one or has computers with that capability

          Damn, that sucks. Between movies and my hacked PS2 and Wii, I probably burned a dvd per day on average in the late 2000’s.
