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

MasterChef Canada is a Canadian competitive culinary reality TV show, part of the MasterChef franchise and copied off from the original British show, open to self-taught amateur home cooks across Canada. It premiered on CTV on January 20, 2014, and has since aired its eighth season. The first seven seasons of MasterChef Canada starred three judges: Claudio Aprile, Michael Bonacini and Alvin Leung, were narrated by Charlie Ryan and produced by Endemol Shine International and Proper Television. The first six seasons were produced under the executive production of Guy O'Sullivan. After a three-year hiatus, CTV announced on October 22, 2024, an eighth season of the show for the 2025–26 season, to be produced by Toronto-based McGillivray Entertainment Media (MEM). Filmed in early 2025, the season premiered on October 2, 2025, with a new judging panel that consists of Season 3 winner Mary Berg, Toronto chef and restaurateur Craig Wong, and chef and former Top Chef judge Hugh Acheson. In December 2025, CTV renewed the show for a ninth season to be filmed in the spring of 2026, with Berg, Wong and Acheson returning as judges. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
