I'm in the situation you describe. Our internet went out Saturday afternoon and won't be back up until the Comcast guy arrives tomorrow afternoon (if I'm lucky).
So yeah, I have a large collection of DVDs and blu-ray. But alas! My Samsung fell victim to the
blu-ray boot loop apocalypse.
Meanwhile I've turned my phone into a hot spot and we're watching Peter Pan on Disney+
Don't feel too smug because of your physical media.

Buddy, if you have no internet access for months:
- You likely also don't have power
- You have bigger problems than watching DVDs while feeling superior
