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

Mac & Devin Go to High School is a 2012 American stoner comedy film. The film was directed by Dylan Brown and stars rappers Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa (in his film debut) in the title roles, along with Mike Epps, Teairra Mari, Andy Milonakis, Luenell in supporting roles and the voice of Mystikal as a narrator character. The story follows two high school students, geeky Devin and badman Mac, a stoner who befriends Devin and introduces him to weed. Critical reception was overwhelmingly negative. The film was released as Direct-to-DVD/Blu-ray exclusive on July 3, 2012. The accompanying soundtrack—which included the hit song performed by the film's lead actors, "Young, Wild & Free", featuring with American singer Bruno Mars—was released in promotion for the film in October 2011.
