The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
Two comedians get into a series of silly situations and romantic entanglements during a road trip. It is a musical comedy built around their antics and songs.

What happens
The Cuckoos is a 1930 American pre-Code musical comedy film released by RKO Radio Pictures and partially filmed in two-strip Technicolor. Directed by Paul Sloane, the screenplay was adapted by Cyrus Wood from the 1926 Broadway musical The Ramblers by Guy Bolton, Bert Kalmar, and Harry Ruby. The film stars Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey, and while they had appeared on Broadway and in other films together (most notably RKO's Rio Rita the year before), this was their first starring vehicle as a team. The success of this picture, combined with Rio Rita being their most successful film of 1929, convinced the studio to showcase them as Wheeler & Woolsey, the screen's newest comedy team.
