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.

How it feels

Professional chefs live together in a house and compete in cooking challenges. The chefs judge each other's dishes instead of a panel of experts, which creates social and political tension.

What happens

Pressure Cooker is a cooking competition television series on Netflix. The premise of the show features chefs competing in various cooking challenges as they live in together in one house. The twist of the series is that unlike most other cooking shows (in which a panel of judges will judge each dish), the chefs themselves will judge one another's food. The show has been described as a mix of Top Chef and Big Brother - combining the cooking challenges of the former, and the social politicking of the latter. Contestants included chefs such as Renee Blackman and Robbie Jester. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
