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

Kelce is a feature-length documentary film which follows Jason Kelce during the 2022 National Football League season. It was produced by Philadelphia-based studio 9.14 Pictures, Vera Y Productions, and NFL Films. It was released on Amazon Prime Video on September 11, 2023. Within 24 hours of its release, Kelce became the No. 1 most watched movie on Amazon in the United States. It was nominated for two Sports Emmy Awards in 2024. It depicts Kelce in both his personal and professional life as he weighs the decision about whether to retire from the NFL. He frankly discusses balancing the financial benefits and the physical cost of playing in the NFL. Kelce is a famous underdog and the documentary has been described as the "most Philly sports movie ever" given Kelce's everyman likeable personality and underdog status. The film culminates in Kelce playing against his brother Travis Kelce in Super Bowl LVII. They were the first brothers to play against each other in Super Bowl history and the game also became known as the "Kelce Bowl". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
