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

Australian comedians compete in a spelling bee with silly rules. A host and co-host lead rounds designed to trick and entertain the contestants. The winner returns each episode while the loser wears a dunce cap.

What happens

Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont-Spelling Bee is an Australian television comedy panel show on the ABC, created and presented by Guy Montgomery and co-hosted by Aaron Chen (later Sam Campbell), based on the New Zealand TV show of the same name. Guy Mont-Spelling Bee is loosely based on a spelling bee: each episode, four comedians participate in a series of rounds, where the goal is almost always to spell words or names in rounds that are "designed to befuddle, bamboozle, and bedazzle". The winner of each episode competes again the following episode and the loser of each episode must wear a dunce cap in the Dunce's Corner. The eight-episode first series premiered on 14 August 2024; every episode was made available on ABC iview that day. The show's second season was released in 2025, and the third in 2026. Montgomery won a Logie Award for hosting the show in 2025. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
