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
Two teams of a contestant and a celebrity answer pop culture questions about TV themes, film taglines, and general knowledge. The contestant with the most points enters a final round where they must recite answers to eight questions from memory in order.
