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

The Manhattan Alien Abduction is a three-episode Netflix documentary miniseries about an alien abduction case from 1989. It was released in the United States on October 30, 2024. The three-part series describes Linda Napolitano's claim to have been repeatedly beamed into a spaceship from her bedroom and includes commentary from her supporters as well as her detractors. This story generated new media attention in 2024 because Napolitano and some supporters sued Netflix for defamation. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
