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
Journalist Joe Hildebrand takes four young politicians on a road trip to explore Australia's toughest problems. They look at topics like alcohol violence, gambling addiction, bad transport, housing crises, and coal seam gas mining. The journey ends with them presenting their ideas to a former Prime Minister.
