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 group of comedians make jokes about Australian federal elections and politics. They parody campaign events, interview politicians, and produce sketches based on recent news. The series focuses on the absurd side of the electoral process.
