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 Unpleasant World of Penn & Teller is a British magic show presented by Penn & Teller in 1994 on Channel 4. The show featured segments deconstructing magic tricks, while performing some of their signature comedy magic stunts. At the time, while highly popular in the United States, the pair was still unknown outside of the United States, and the show helped expose them to British audiences. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
