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

Less Than Kosher is Canadian comedy web series, which premiered in 2023 on Highball TV. The series stars Shaina Silver-Baird as Viv, a self-professed "bad Jew" who moves back into her parents' home after failing to make it as a pop singer, and unexpectedly ends up working as a cantor at her local synagogue. The series was screened theatrically as a film at a number of Jewish film festivals, before premiering on Highball in web series format. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
