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

Jones & Jury (also known as Jones and Jury) is an American nontraditional arbitration-based reality court show presided over by former Brooklyn Prosecutor and District Attorney Star Jones. Jones & Jury was the second arbitration-based reality show, following The People's Court. The series aired in first-run syndication for eight months, from September 1994 to May 1995. It was produced by Lighthearted Entertainment. The program made Star Jones the first African American to preside over a court show and the first female to preside over arbitration-based reality courtroom program, with only Joseph Wapner preceding her. Jones gained widespread recognition shortly after her stint on Jones & Jury for her 9 seasons on daytime talk show The View, from 1997–98 through 2005–06. On January 10, 2022, it was announced that Jones would return to the court show genre, presiding over the longest-running courtroom series Divorce Court beginning with its milestone 40th season on September 19, 2022.
