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
An American Aristocrat's Guide to Great Estates is a factual documentary television series commissioned by the Smithsonian Channel. It is presented by Julie Montagu, Countess of Sandwich, at the time of production, Viscountess Hinchingbrooke, the American wife of Viscount Hinchingbrooke (currently the Luke Montagu, 12th Earl of Sandwich), and explores the histories, management styles and upkeep costs of Britain's family mansions and castles. Although initially recommissioned for a second series, it was subsequently cancelled due to a change at the top of the Smithsonian Channel. This resulted in Julie Montagu setting up a production company and through the Patreon crowdfunding platform, developing a new show called American Viscountess (later American Countess) for YouTube.
