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

NBA Showtime is a pre and post game studio show that airs before and after each NBA on NBC telecast. The program, a half-hour in length, aired during NBC's 12-year run of NBA coverage from the 1990–91 season to the 2001–02 season. In 2025, with NBC reacquiring rights to the league, NBC announced that it would revive the NBA Showtime studio show for its coverage; Sunday night editions are instead branded as Basketball Night in America and modeled after its Football Night in America pregame show for NBC Sunday Night Football.
