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

CNN This Morning with Audie Cornish is an American early-morning news program broadcast by CNN and CNN International. It is currently anchored by Audie Cornish and airs from 6:00 to 7:00 a.m. ET. The programme is also broadcast globally on CNN International. CNN This Morning is also available as a podcast. It first premiered on January 2, 2012, as Early Start, acting as a compliment to CNN's then-new morning show Starting Point. The program was initially co-anchored by Ashleigh Banfield and Zoraida Sambolin, and would later be joined by John Berman. Banfield moved to CNN Newsroom in July 2012, while Sambolin departed in January 2014 and was replaced by Christine Romans. In January 2017, Berman also moved to CNN Newsroom, and was succeeded as co-anchor by Dave Briggs. He would in turn be succeeded by Laura Jarrett in January 2020. Jarrett would leave CNN in July 2022, with Romans anchoring Early Start solo until her departure from the network in July 2023; she would be succeeded by Kasie Hunt. On February 26, 2024, the program was retitled CNN This Morning with Kasie Hunt (repurposing a title vacated by CNN's former weekday morning show), expanded back to two hours from 5:00 to 7:00 a.m, and relocated from New York to CNN's Washington, D.C. bureau. On March 3, 2025, Hunt moved to the new afternoon show The Arena with Kasie Hunt, and was succeeded on CNN This Morning by Audie Cornish. Concurrently, the program was shortened back to an hour at 6:00 a.m. The following week, CNN reinstated the Early Start branding for a new 5:00 a.m. show hosted by Rahel Solomon, which would last until Solomon's departure from the network in 2026. The Early Start branding is currently unused. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
