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

Kitchen Casino was a cooking reality television series hosted by Bill Rancic that premiered on April 7, 2014, on Food Network. Similar to short-form cooking reality shows, it features four chefs challenged to cook gourmet dishes to be judged by two guest celebrities. The chefs participate in four "casino-themed" rounds of play in order to win a possible final prize of $30,000. The series initially aired new episodes on Monday evenings at 9:00PM ET on Food Network. Beginning May 11, the series moved its premiere showings to Sunday nights at 11:00PM ET. To date, no new episodes beyond the original first season of eight are being produced, and repeat runs are scheduled for Thursday mornings at 4:00 am EST starting October 8, 2014. No announcement has been made concerning a second season of the show. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
