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

Knife or Death (officially Forged in Fire: Knife or Death) is an American competition series that airs on the History channel. It is a spinoff from the successful Forged in Fire television series. The show is hosted by previous NFL player and WCW/WWE professional wrestler Bill Goldberg, and co-host Tu Lam, a former US Army Special Forces Soldier, martial artist and edged weapons expert. Two-time Forged in Fire champion Travis Wuertz assists as the show's blade inspection specialist. On each episode, eight contestants compete through two rounds, using edged weapons that they have either forged themselves or had fabricated to their specifications. They must submit their weapons to a preliminary examination by Wuertz and can be immediately disqualified in case of a safety issue or failure. The contestant who finishes the second-round course in the shorter time advances to the season finale, with a $20,000 cash prize at stake. Knife or Death premiered April 17, 2018 on History and is produced by Outpost Entertainment. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
