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

Sports Soup was a twice-weekly series airing in the U.S. on Versus. The show first aired on October 14, 2008. Hosted by Matt Iseman, it satirized recent events in sports and the stations that cover them in similar fashion to sister network E! Entertainment Television's series The Soup and Comedy Central's The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. The show featured Iseman in front of a green screen and was produced by the same cast and crew, on the same sound stage, as The Soup. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
