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

Candy Crush is an American television game show based on the Swedish-Maltese mobile game Candy Crush Saga, published and developed by King. Hosted by Mario Lopez, the show features similar tile-matching gameplay to its namesake, but with the players suspended at a height in front of one of two 30-foot touchscreens, which then held the Guinness World Record for the largest touchscreens in the world. Candy Crush premiered on CBS on July 9, 2017. The show received very negative critical reception, with several reviewers calling it one of the worst game shows ever made. The show was canceled following a single season of nine episodes, with the two-hour finale airing on September 2, 2017. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
