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

Mobsters is an American documentary television series which aired on The Biography Channel. It profiles the lives of criminals, often deceased, from the point of view of their former associates or pursuers. Some episodes of Mobsters are rehashes of the similar TV series American Justice as well as Notorious, both series that were originally broadcast on Biography Channel's sister channel, A&E Network; some episodes also rehashed segments from another A&E series American Gangster, which began airing on the Black Entertainment Television (BET) channel. The only differences are the intro of the episodes and the lead-in's after commercials. Besides this, the rehashed episodes are no different in any way. It's narrated by John Lurie.
