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

The Late Show is an American late-night talk show franchise that aired on CBS. It first aired on August 30, 1993, with host David Letterman, who previously hosted Late Night with David Letterman on NBC from 1982 to 1993. Letterman's iteration of the program ran until his retirement in May 2015. Comedian Stephen Colbert, best known for his roles on Comedy Central programs The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, assumed hosting duties that September. The show originated from the Ed Sullivan Theater in the Theater District of Manhattan, New York City, and aired live to tape in most American markets at 11:35 p.m. Eastern and Pacific, 10:35 in the Central and Mountain time zones. CBS announced in 2025 that it was canceling The Late Show franchise, with the series finale airing on May 21, 2026, at the conclusion of Colbert's eleventh season. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
