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 Michael Essany Show is an American television talk show hosted by Michael Essany that aired on local, national, and international television from 1997 to 2004. Hosted by Valparaiso, Indiana resident Michael Essany, the program was originally broadcast on public access television through TCI Cable before developing a deal with Leeza Gibbons and broadcast for two seasons on E! Entertainment Television. Gibbons, who was the second guest on the cable access show, would later sign Essany to a development deal two years after her appearance on the show. Essany, a teenager when the show began, based the show on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. The show, which broadcast out of the Essany family home in Valparaiso, included Essany's mother as the director and makeup artist, as well as his father as the camera operator. Essany's friend Mike Randazzo served as his sidekick on the show. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
