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
Benjamin is a 2018 black comedy film about drug addiction directed by Bob Saget. It was the first film distributed exclusively by Redbox and the final film directed by Saget prior to his death in January 2022. Saget cast himself as the patriarch of a family with a teen troubled by drug addiction. The cast includes Rob Corddry, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Kevin Pollak, Peri Gilpin, Dave Foley, Cheri Oteri, Max Burkholder, Clara Mamet, David Hull, Jonny Weston, and James Preston Rogers. Saget said there are parallels between Bob Johnson, the father he portrays in Benjamin and Danny Tanner, the character he played on Full House and Fuller House.
