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 Missus Downstairs is a Canadian comedy web series, which premiered in 2021 on Bell Fibe's TV1. The series stars Dave Sullivan as John, a shy loner whose complicated relationship with his chatty downstairs neighbour (Mary Walsh) evolves into an unlikely friendship. Sullivan created the series based on his own real-life relationship with Elsie Higgins, a woman who lived downstairs from him after he moved into a new residence in Portugal Cove–St. Philip's, Newfoundland and Labrador, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The cast also includes Renée Hackett, Andy Jones, Darryl Hopkins, Phil Churchill, Ruth Lawrence, Wendi Smallwood and Justin Simms. Walsh received a Canadian Screen Award nomination for Best Lead Performance in a Web Program or Series at the 12th Canadian Screen Awards in 2024. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
