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
Defunctland is a video documentary series about the history of discontinued amusement parks and amusement park attractions, created and hosted by Kevin Perjurer, a pseudonymous man living in Florida. The show presents the history and downfall of theme parks and attractions from around the world, most notably those of Disney, Universal, and Six Flags. The channel has amassed over 2 million subscribers as of June 2025. The success of Defunctland led to two spin-offs: Debunkedland and DefunctTV, both of which premiered in 2018. In 2024, the Defunctland series was nominated for Peabody Award in the "Interactive & Immersive" category. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
