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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
A puppet named Madame, a raunchy and sharp-tongued retired celebrity, hosts a show where she insults guests and brags about her glamorous past. The series is a parody of old Hollywood divas with lots of double meanings and quick jokes.

What happens
Madame's Place is an American sitcom based on the ribald, acerbic, aging-celebrity diva Madame, a puppet character portrayed by Wayland Flowers. A single season of 74 episodes was produced for weekday broadcasts in first-run syndication, originally aired from September 1982 to February 1983. Initial syndication also featured hour-long composites created for weekend broadcasts. With broad humor based on double entendres, sharp comebacks, and her penchant for celebrity name-dropping, the character of Madame was often attired in gowns and jewels, a parody of the opulence associated with Hollywood's Golden era.
