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

Canada's Ultimate Challenge is a Canadian reality television series, which premiered in February 2023 on CBC Television. The series, touted as a cross-national "obstacle course", features teams of Canadians competing in various physical challenges, such as whitewater rafting or rock climbing, at various locations throughout Canada, until the ultimate winning team is chosen. The first season was hosted by Craig McMorris and Nikki Reyes, and featured the teams being coached by prominent Canadian athletes including Donovan Bailey, Waneek Horn-Miller, Clara Hughes, Gilmore Junio, Jen Kish and Luke Willson. The prize, including a trip to Paris for the 2024 Summer Olympics, was won by Team Black, consisting of Vinny Rojas of Dorval, Quebec, Alana Warnick of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Bradley Farquhar of Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Devon MD Jones of Toronto, Ontario. A second season debuted in April 2024 with host Brandon Gonez, dropping the celebrity coaches to centre on players having to navigate the challenges themselves. The winning team won a VIP trip to cheer on Team Canada at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. A third season aired in 2025 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
