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

Space Riders: Division Earth is a Canadian science fiction comedy web series, which premiered in 2014 on CTV Television Network's web platform CTV Extend. The series stars Mark Little and Dan Beirne as Ken and Phillip, two slackers who unexpectedly become superheroes after the Earth is invaded by alien supervillain Orson Ooze (Kayla Lorette). The series was generally labelled by critics as a parody of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. The series won the Canadian Screen Award for Best Original Program or Series Produced for Digital Media, Fiction at the 3rd Canadian Screen Awards in 2015, and the series won two Canadian Comedy Awards, for Best Web Series and Best Direction in a Web Series (Jordan Canning) at the 16th Canadian Comedy Awards.
