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

Undercover Boss is an American reality television series, based on the British series of the same name and produced by Studio Lambert in both countries. Each episode depicts a person who has an upper-management position at a major business, deciding to go undercover as an entry-level employee to discover the faults in the company. The first season consisted of nine episodes produced in 2009 and first aired on February 7, 2010, (right after Super Bowl XLIV) on CBS. Companies that appear on the series are assured that the show will not damage their corporate brands. On April 26, 2018, CBS announced the first-ever Celebrity Edition to premiere on May 11, 2018. In May 2021, the series was renewed for an eleventh season which premiered on January 7, 2022. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
