I'm a big fan of audio commentary and these days studios tend to include audio commentary only on digital releases. I want to make a list of those cases and need some help.

Is this seriously a thing? I'm honestly shocked. Unless these are recorded long after the initial Blu-ray release, there's no excuse to have these digital exclusive imo.

It Chapter 1 is the only instance I'm aware of where the commentary was added a while after release.

I think it's a mix of trying to encourage digital purchases over physical, and also to entice disc buyers to not giveaway or sell their digital codes.

Beauty and the Beast (2017) has a commentary with director Bill Condon which weirdly is only on Vudu and no where else. Considering it's not listed as an exclusive there, I'm thinking there was an oversight and it was meant to be on MoviesAnywhere, too, ala Mary Poppins Returns.

horrible.

I don't know about the other releases, but on this Fantastic Four 2-pack the first movie's disc only has the cast commentary and there are two more on itunes extras.

I didn't realize this was so prevalent a practice myself.

Should Midsommar be added to the list?

Amazon Prime Video has a version available with commentary. I haven't heard it myself, but I read it's just Ari Aster's brother talking about the film. As far as I know, he didn't even have anything to do with the production.

Add 'Molly's Game' and 'Blinded By the Light'

Kong Skull Island Director and cast commentary is an itunes exclusive.

Aren't the Fantastic Four commentaries on the DVD, so do those count or not?

My bad, it's only located on the UK disc.

[AddictedAICN]

That’s too bad. I was looking forward to hearing it

Which cast? If it's Sam Jackson, it's probably worth it.

I refuse to go digital, so I'll never know. The whole practice of this digital only features is most disturbing. I get the studios would love everyone to switch so they don't have to produce anything anymore, but it is just pure assholism to be limiting exclusives to digital. It's done a complete 180 since digital was introduced but you had to have the disc for extras. Even better (as in "far ****ing worse") when one digital service has exclusives for one title, but then you need another for the next movie.
