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
At a popular disco club in Los Angeles on a Friday night, a mix of characters including a shy teenager, a married couple, a sleazy disc jockey, and a young musician try to navigate the evening. Their stories intersect as they seek fun, romance, or a big break under the glittering lights and booming music.

What happens
Thank God It's Friday is a 1978 American musical comedy film directed by Robert Klane (in his directorial debut) and produced by Motown Productions and Casablanca FilmWorks for Columbia Pictures. Produced at the height of the disco craze, the film features the Commodores performing "Too Hot ta Trot" and Donna Summer performing "Last Dance", which won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1978. The film features an early performance by Jeff Goldblum and the first major screen appearance by Debra Winger. The film also features Terri Nunn in her only film role, who later achieved fame in the 1980s new wave group Berlin. This was one of several Columbia Pictures films in which the studio's "Torch Lady" came to life in the opening credits, showing off her moves for a few seconds before the start of the film.
