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
Talent Jackpot is an American game show broadcast on the DuMont Television Network from July 19 to August 23, 1949. The show replaced Ted Steele's program. It was hosted by Broadway producer Vinton Freedley (1891-1969) with Bud Collyer as his assistant and announcer. Contestants won by getting the most applause from the audience, and the top prize was $250. If a contestant won for three consecutive weeks, he or she received a one-week theater contract.
