The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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.

What happens

Ricki Lake is an American daytime talk show that was hosted by Ricki Lake. The show ran in syndication for eleven seasons from September 13, 1993, to May 21, 2004, in which it broadcast over 2,000 episodes. Taped at Chelsea Studios, the tabloid talk show primarily featured single-issue panel discussions with everyday people. Lake moderated these discussions, which often centered on relational transgressions between guests, and she placed a heavy emphasis on audience participation. The show distinguished itself from its contemporaries by focusing on youth-oriented discussions from a Generation X perspective. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
