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

What happens
The Boys in the Band is a 2020 American drama film directed by Joe Mantello, based on the 1968 play of the same name by Mart Crowley, who also wrote the screenplay alongside Ned Martel. Crowley had previously adapted the stage play for a 1970 film directed by William Friedkin and starring the original Off-Broadway cast. The remake film stars the full roster of exclusively openly-gay actors from the play's 2018 Broadway revival. Netflix released the film on September 30, 2020, to positive reviews from critics.
