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

Magpasikat (lit. Show-Off) is an annual talent competition segment of the Philippine noontime variety show It's Showtime. The segment features the program's hosts and cast members competing in teams to showcase creative and performance-based productions (except in 2025). It is typically held as a week-long anniversary special, either on October—during or leading up to the show's anniversary on October 24; November (as done in 2021–2023); or December (as done in 2025). Jugs Jugueta and Teddy Corpuz currently hold the record for the most Magpasikat wins, with six victories. They are followed by Karylle with five wins, and both Jhong Hilario and Kim Chiu with four each. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
