I assume Criterion will manage to get this into mainstream shops like Walmart and Target too in time for it to be a default Christmas gift/stocking stuffer, can’t think of the last time that was a possibility. I bought my slip covered Criterion DVD copy of Royal Tenenbaums from a grocery store display, the DVD boom era was wild

Safeway sold The Irishman on Blu-ray, which always struck me as wild. For $19.99, too.

Unfortunately Costco stopped carrying discs awhile ago (they also no longer sell players). Other big-box chains still stock some, albeit in much reduced numbers and with a focus on box sets (like complete TV series) that I guess have a longer shelf life. I hope Criterion manages to get this into some major retailers, though Target no longer sells Criterion releases even on their website.

I remember picking up the Royal Tenenbaums DVD at Walmart with my employee discount, but that was an odd situation because it was released through Buena Vista themselves and was the only DVD edition in the U.S. (meaning there was no "standard" edition that retailers could stock instead—I think even rental stores carried the Criterion version). For The Life Aquatic, there was another edition that dropped the second disc but still had the Criterion branding.
