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

Fangasm is a reality television show that screened on SyFy in 2013. The series followed seven people as they worked as interns for Stan Lee's Comikaze Expo (now known as the L.A. Comic Con), and included guests such as Stan Lee and George Takei. Although some felt that the series handled the subjects well, Fangasm was criticised by Andy Khourio as "nakedly exploitive of geek culture", and was accused of being created in order to promote Comikaze.
