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
A college football star is caught between his studies and his romantic interests. This early musical comedy follows his attempts to balance sports, love, and school in a lighthearted pre-Code style.

What happens
Good News is a 1930 American pre-Code musical film directed by Nick Grinde, and starring Bessie Love, Cliff Edwards, and Penny Singleton. The film was shot in black-and-white, although the finale was in multicolor. The film is preserved at the UCLA Film & Television Archive. The surviving print lacks the color finale; no footage of the finale is known to survive. The film was based on the 1927 stage production of the same name. Another film based on the musical, also called Good News, was released in 1947. By the 1940s, the 1930 production was not shown in the United States due to its Pre-Code content, which included sexual innuendo and lewd suggestive humor. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
