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

For Heaven's Sake is a Canadian documentary television series, which premiered in 2021 on CBC Gem in Canada and Paramount+ in the United States. Created by Mike Mildon and Jackson Rowe, the series follows their attempts to solve the mystery of the 1934 disappearance of Harold Heaven, Mildon's great-great uncle, from his cabin in Minden, Ontario, even though their backgrounds are more in comedy than in detective work. The series was produced by Muse Entertainment, in conjunction with Funny or Die and CBS Television Studios. The series received three Canadian Screen Award nominations at the 10th Canadian Screen Awards in 2022, for Best Factual Program or Series, Best Sound in a Non-Fiction Program or Series (Eric Apps) and Best Writing in a Factual Program or Series (Mildon, Rowe, Jay Cheel).
