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

Have I Got News for You (HIGNFY) is an American television panel show based on the British series of the same name. The show premiered on September 14, 2024, on CNN and aired around the time of the 2024 United States elections. Two pairs captained by Amber Ruffin and Michael Ian Black answer news-based trivia questions on current events happening the week prior to an episode's broadcast. Unlike the British original, which has used guest hosts since 2002, the program booked a permanent host in Roy Wood Jr. The show received mixed reception but improved the network's ratings for its slot and was recommissioned for a second series, which began airing on February 15, 2025. Episodes stream shortly after broadcast on the CNN app and next day on HBO Max. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
