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 rock and roll star becomes a superhero named Rat Pfink to rescue his kidnapped girlfriend. His friend joins him as the sidekick Boo Boo. The film starts as a serious crime movie but suddenly turns into a silly parody of Batman.

What happens
Rat Pfink a Boo Boo is a 1966 American superhero comedy film directed by Ray Dennis Steckler and starring Ron Haydock and Carolyn Brandt. The first 40 minutes of the film are a straight crime drama, but it jarringly segues into a superhero parody after this. The title is alternately explained as a typo that was too expensive to fix (versus the more logical Rat Pfink and Boo Boo) or a stylistic choice. In the film, a rock and roll star adopts the secret identity of Rat Pfink to rescue his kidnapped girlfriend. A friend of his adopts the identity of Rat Pfink's sidekick Boo Boo. They use a vehicle named the "Ratcycle" in homage to the Batcycle. The film was reportedly intended as a parody of the campy Batman television series. Rat Pfink is a parody of Batman and Boo Boo is a parody of Batman's sidekick Robin. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
