Netflix has graciously decided to charge Singaporeans twice for the same content by launching its Stranger Things animated spin-off in cinemas.

The streaming giant realised that local audiences find the "Upside Down" far less terrifying than the prospect of staying at home without a queue to join.

"Inside got monsters and shadow world, but at least no boss calling me at night," noted one cinema-goer.

"Ticket price expensive, but the air-con and nostalgia help me forget my life is one big jialat loop," another office worker added.

Streaming executives confirmed the move targets the national obsession with 80s nostalgia, helping residents forget they currently live in a high-tech panopticon.

The animation perfectly captures the glassy-eyed expressions of the local workforce.

This satire is based on a real news story.
