Gather round children and listen to my lecture about the importance of physical media. Sometimes, when a person loves a show or movie so much the only way to show that love is by owning a physical copy of its contents. Plus, what if there’s an apocalypse? Sure, sure we will all need clean water, shelter electricity and food but after all that’s sorted out… what are you gonna watch? 

With only a few more hours until Prime Day concludes, deals on on blu-ray disc and box sets are still running strong. Here are some of our favorites.
