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

Way Too Early is an American early morning news show that airs weekday mornings on MS NOW. The first incarnation of Way Too Early premiered on July 27, 2009, hosted by Willie Geist. It was later hosted by a variety of NBC News on-air talent, including Thomas Roberts and others on a temporary basis, including Ayman Mohyeldin. The final hosts were Chief White House Correspondent Chris Jansing and Frances Rivera. It originally ended on August 12, 2016, as its lead-in program First Look was expanded back into the full hour and rebranded as Morning Joe First Look to build continuity with the later program. On September 10, 2020, MSNBC announced that Way Too Early would be revived beginning September 21, with Kasie Hunt as anchor. Hunt would depart the network on July 16, 2021; Jonathan Lemire was named as her replacement on October 25. In December 2024, it was announced that Lemire would move to Morning Joe, and that Ali Vitali would become the new host of Way Too Early in January 2025. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
