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

Undercover Billionaire is an American reality television series broadcast on the Discovery Channel. The first season, which first aired from August 6 to September 24, 2019, followed billionaire Glenn Stearns as he attempted to start a million-dollar business in Erie, Pennsylvania, in 90 days, starting with $100, a car, and a tank of gas. Stearns identified his target business, gathered a crew to help, built his initial $100 stake sufficiently to fund a startup company, and opened a barbecue restaurant named Underdog BBQ. The presence of a Discovery Channel film crew was explained by saying that they were trailing him for a documentary about building a small business from scratch. A TV special titled Undercover Billionaire: Return To Erie premiered on August 18, 2020. The second season, which premiered on January 6, 2021, followed three self-styled successful entrepreneurs (Grant Cardone, Monique Idlett-Mosley, and Elaine Culotti) in three cities as they attempt to create a business with a "valuation of $1 million" in 90 days. Season 2 also featured part of Undercover Billionaire: Comeback City, a show about Stearns' continuing work in Erie, that debuted in its entirety on Discovery Plus. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
