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
Two queer women in Toronto bond over feeling like outsiders. The show follows their friendship as they navigate life in a stylized version of the city that feels like a live action cartoon with some dark edges.

What happens
I Hate People, People Hate Me is a Canadian comedy web series, which premiered on CBC Gem in 2023. The series stars Bobbi Summers and Lily Kazimiera as Jovi and Tabitha, two friends who bond over their shared status as outsiders to the LGBTQ community in Toronto. Summers described the series as having been inspired by films such as Ghost World, Good Burger and Welcome to the Dollhouse, with the characters' alienation meant as self-reflection on his own struggles. The series was also designed to depict Toronto in a graphic novel sort of way rather than realistically, described by Summers as "filtered through the part of my brain that wants everything to feel like a live-action cartoon with darkness sprinkled on top". The cast also includes Jennifer Sapico, Jake Simone, Dallas Peplow, Jessica Myrie, Ethan Laniado, Lyndsay Clarkson, Deniella Alexis and Luke Avoledo in supporting roles and Canadian icon Bif Naked as a guest star. The series premiered globally on WOW Presents Plus in January 2025 and is the streamer's first scripted acquisition. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
