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
The show is a comedy series where a host brings on stage a lineup of young comedians. Each performer tells jokes for about five minutes without using any props. The humor often pokes fun at stereotypes and expectations faced by minorities in France.

What happens
Jamel Comedy Club is a French comedy show on the television station Canal+, produced and presented by the French actor/comedian Jamel Debbouze. It aims to highlight talented young comedians, who each get roughly 5 minutes in on stage with no props allowed. It also aired on Moroccan TV channel 2M featuring Maghrebi and/or French comedians. Coming off the show's success, Debbouze opened an American-style comedy club in Paris simply named "le Comedy Club" as it was possibly the first of its kind in France. Later renamed after the show, it gained a reputation as a starting ground for comedians who would later gain fame along with the show. Some performers who felt restrained by the limits placed on them by network guidelines and time limitations would go on to start their own solo acts. Most of these comedians are members of ethnic minorities in France, with their humor criticising majority stereotypes and expectations. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
