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 Week That Wasn't was an Indian satirical late night television programme hosted by Cyrus Broacha and shown on the CNN-IBN (now CNN News18) channel. Started in 2006, the cast included Kaneez Surka, Gopal Datt, Mohit Mahale, and Kunal Vijaykar with occasional appearances by Punit Pania and Ambika Vas. In 2013, a defamation case was filed against Broacha and the team by the Tamil Nadu government over his comments during the show regarding Jayalalithaa's letter to the Prime Minister asking Sri Lankan players not to be allowed in the Indian Premier League (IPL). On 30 May 2023, Cyrus Broacha announced on his podcast that the show had been canceled by the management at CNN News18. Cyrus further announced there would not be any more shows.
