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

Comedians sit in a big chair and tell funny personal stories to a live audience. The show is based on a stage production that started at a university bar.

What happens

Story Club is an Australian television comedy show broadcast on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) television station ABC2. It was a filmed version of a stage show that ran in Sydney. Cast members and guests sat in big chair with a big book and told a story. Story Club was created by Zoë Norton Lodge and Ben Jenkins, dating back to 2009 at Sydney University’s Hermann’s Bar. It moved around to other venues before finding a permanent placement at the Chaser’s Giant Dwarf Theatre which was where the TV series was recorded. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
