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

The Filthiest Show in Town is a 1973 satirical exploitation comedy film directed by Richard Endelson and Robert A. Endelson. It stars Sandra Peabody, Tina Russell, and Harry Reems. The story follows the owners of the National Genital Television Network who go on trial over backlash of one of their highest rated shows: the adult dating show entitled The Maiden Game. The story follows several other vignettes in the form of disjointed commercial segments. Initially, the film was promoted by the extensive media coverage of adult film stars Russell and Reems, the latter having just starred in the mainstream adult film Deep Throat (1972). Subsequently, it was promoted by the notability of Peabody who had just starred in Wes Craven's critically acclaimed horror film The Last House on the Left (1972). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
