Many writers/studios get a technical consultant. Sometimes your writer friend will ask for help, other times you'll get an introduction from some VFX house you're working for and others it's your wife's-friends-husbands-boss.

I’d love to watch the directors commentary, but it looks like I need to get some legacy media for that.

I have a pretty high quality blu-ray, it's not just on legacy media.
EDIT: it occurs to me that "legacy media" means "not available through streaming/rental services/stores", my bad.
You could argue it's legacy media if you can pass it on to your descendants...
As always, legacy means "it makes money and it works and it has customers", as opposed to the new thing that may or may not work or make money.
lol. I sent that post and didn’t think twice about it, but of course you are right! I’ve started to think of physical media as “legacy”, but it is not of course!
How much they listen to their consultants differs a lot, and it shows in the production output.
Two Chiefs of Staff of the United States Air Force guest starred in Stargate SG-1, General Michael E. Ryan and General John P. Jumper,
while SG-1 was getting technical advice from Air Force Entertainment Liaison Office.
