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
Matt Lucas and David Walliams reprise their iconic characters from the British sketch show for an American spin-off. They play both old favorites like Lou and Andy and new characters in a series of short, absurd comedy sketches.
