It's narrated by Richard E. Grant - it would be sort of an odd supplement, but maybe an add-on to a Withnail & I upgrade?

Here's the film itself. Other than its tangential relationship to Withnail & I (which currently has a restoration on Blu available in the UK from Arrow, but not in the US) via Richard E. Grant, I can't imagine where else it would be included. Are they creating pages for FilmStruck exclusives now?

I will be thrilled if we get the Paradise trilogy.

Things certainly seem quiet on their website and social media sites.

It could be because the announcements will be of the directors that are already in the collection, no?

I mean, it's possible that literally everyone in all the announcements all already have pages, but considering we've never had a month with less than forty new pages added in recent memory it seems infinitesimally unlikely

I have it on good authority that part of the Criterion hazing of interns initiation involves rolling a huge rock engraved with the 15th up a steep hill only to watch it crash back down again as soon as they reach the top . It is only then they have to post all the new title information onto the site. This Sisyphus-like endeavour starts at the beginning of the month and has as its goal arrival at the summit on the 15th. It is further heightened by the collected staff screaming 'Sissies' and hurling bronzed discs at them frisbie style. Understandably there are the occasional pitfalls.

Lerner is credited as director for both. The Dylan one looks like it's probably expanded from the earlier film. I'm not familiar with either.

Perhaps they both make whatever it is. I imagine one or the other being a standalone.

Might we be seeing a re-upgrade of Monterey Pop, considering Janus' tour? I know Criterion's never really done this but the fact of releasing another Festival movie seems like a strange coincidence.

There were some comments from Jonathan Turell a few weeks ago that seemed to indicate that they are going to re-release Monterey Pop
