Whether you have never owned them or want to get back to collecting them, movies on physical media are pretty great. You can go diving for DVDs, high definition hunting for Blu-Rays, or searching for the sharpest 4K UHD discs that technology can produce. So what do you need to know about starting your collection?

In this first episode of Cinema On A Shelf, Matt talks about the different physical media formats available today, why you would choose to watch and collect films on physical media, and what you will need to get started in terms of a player and storage. He'll also go through an interesting breakdown of a random selection of movies from 2019, how you could watch them on streaming and digital rentals versus physical media, and a few surprising discoveries about the costs and availability for each option.
