The phrase references a specific instance of a film, specifically “Max Dugan Returns,” being available on a particular physical medium, the DVD format. This encompasses several elements: a proper noun identifying the film (“Max Dugan Returns”), a common noun describing the format (“movie”), and a common noun defining the physical carrier (“DVD”). The combined phrase typically indicates the existence of a commercially available or personally owned copy of the film in DVD format.
Access to a film via DVD historically allowed for individual ownership and viewing control, providing tangible access to media content outside of broadcast schedules or theatrical releases. It also facilitated features such as pausing, rewinding, and accessing supplemental content (e.g., director’s commentary, deleted scenes) not always available through other distribution methods. The significance of this format lies in its contribution to home entertainment and the democratization of film access before the prevalence of streaming services.
