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.
How it feels
Two teams compete each week to build elaborate chain reaction machines within five days. They use the same tools and materials and must include a surprise item midweek. Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman judge the final machines.

What happens
Unchained Reaction is a science and engineering reality game show that aired on the Discovery Channel. It was judged and executive-produced by Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman, best known for hosting the science entertainment series MythBusters. The series premiered on March 18, 2012. The show pits two teams of various backgrounds against each other to build an elaborate chain reaction contraption (sometimes also referred to as a "Rube Goldberg" machine or device). Teams are provided with identical sets of tools and materials and are given five days to construct a series of mechanisms based on a predetermined theme. Midway through each week, the teams are provided with a surprise "missing link" item that they must add to the middle of their machines. The winner would be selected by Savage, Hyneman, and a guest judge. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
