The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

Diz que é uma Espécie de Magazine (English: They Say It's a Kind of Magazine) was a satirical talk show/magazine by the Gato Fedorento comedy group. Although it is considered a "fifth season" from the authors, it's a completely different show, based on the previous one, as the new format satirized public figures instead of anonymous characters. It was broadcast every Sunday on or around 9:30PM, on RTP1, and had two seasons in total. A special episode aired on June 10, 2007, ending the first season. An extra making-of episode was also broadcast on June 12. The program has been critically acclaimed since the first episodes and was, at the time, one of the most-watched shows on Portuguese television. Although enjoyed by the public, with all but the first episode of its first season receiving a share of over 10%, the group has been the target of many complaints about making fun of Portuguese public figures, especially politicians. The show ended on December 31, 2007, in New Year's Eve special set in 1984-1985. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
