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.

What happens

Oh! Those Most Secret Agents! (Italian: 00-2 agenti segretissimi, lit. '00-2 Secret Agents') is a 1964 Italian film directed by Lucio Fulci starring the comic duo Franco and Ciccio. The film is the third of three comedies with the duo by the same director, with I due evasi di Sing Sing and I due pericoli pubblici, to be released in 1964, 00-2 agenti segretissimi being the only color film of the three. It is a parody of 007 spy films, the first of four starring the comic duo Franco e Ciccio (the other being Simonelli's Due mafiosi contro Goldginger, Bava's Le spie vengono dal semifreddo and Fulci's Come rubammo la bomba atomica). The characters of the two thieves would also be present, also played by the Sicilian duo, but with different names, in Fulci's 002 Operazione Luna in 1965, a film that is sometimes presented as a sequel to 00-2 agenti segretissimi.
