Netflix invites its subscribers — and its subscribers only — to take part in one of our three cancellation parties. We’re collaborating with SFU, as experts in engagement,  to engage students with Netflix. These SFU-hosted events are meant to unveil the latest changes we hope to implement on our platform, after the recent success of password sharing prohibition. 

Netflix and chill 

This demonstration is more than a euphemism for intercourse! Join us in front of the SFU avocado statue on June 9 to reclaim our company’s name and dignity. Sure, we may have profited off the subversive nature of the term, and refuse to give credit to the user who first tweeted about watching Netflix and chilling in 2009, but we will be providing refreshments. This, however, is granted that you’ll sign our petition to officially change “Netflix and chill” to “Netflixing.” 

Relatable storylines

BOO! Who wants to watch shows that accurately mirror real-life struggles? Not Netflix, that’s for sure. Cancel whatever plans you had this Sunday to boycott relatable storylines by streaming every single episode of Riverdale. Spend the whole marathon crafting up your own character and share your creation on the Netflix Story AppTM, now available for $10.99 a month, to bring your dreams to life. Performing “Jailhouse Rock” with your cheerleading squad for your boyfriend in juvie is just a second away!

New advertisements 

If television shows can do it, why can’t we? Aren’t you tired of not watching the same three commercials on repeat every 10 minutes? Did 800–588–2300 mean nothing to you? Take back the joy of this excruciating experience by watching a compilation of our soon-to-be advertisements, premiering on our YouTube channel next Monday. And when you’ve had enough, pay $10.99 to never have to worry about those pesky little advertisements again. Everyone wins!

SPOOF: Things that were definitely shot at SFU

The Maze Runner (2014)

SFU News claims SFU Burnaby campus was created with a “strikingly futuristic design,” but we would all be kidding ourselves if we didn’t admit the architecture was simply built to profit off dystopian movies. The Maze Runner depicts a group of teenagers trying to escape SFU’s concrete maze. Trust me, we’ve all been there. What many don’t know is that the film was secretly shot in the SFU Quadrangle!!!!!!

What’s more: SFU recently introduced mandatory courses in dystopian architecture and dystopian film studies for students across all faculties. You heard that right: another roadblock to graduation. Stop trying to make 2014 happen again, SFU. Meanwhile, students keep emptying their pockets so SFU can try to keep profiting off a long-dead industry. SFU could at least try harder to disguise their purpose, since their mission statement isn’t cutting it. 

Guardians of the Galaxy (2017)

Here we go again with another cover-up: the Trottier Observatory. Who said the set was CGI?! It is obviously SFU. While seemingly meant for scientific education, this was used as the inside of the Guardians of the Galaxy spaceship. 

On top of this, SFU even used one of our raccoons for the movie! There were many to choose from, of course, which is why the raccoons had to audition for the role! We’re already invading the space of these raccoons, then THEY have to audition for our movie?! SFU needs to get its priorities straight! One of the raccoons allegedly quit halfway through filming the second movie because they said they were not being given enough snacks during their breaks. Paw-sitively awful!

Normally, the raccoons like to walk down towards the residence buildings, and quickly snatch-up the UberEats placed outside the entrances of the buildings, just before the student picks it up. Yet, Joy Johnson strictly banned raccoons from leaving the site to grab food, and they were forced to eat a “healthy” diet. Why do you think Rocket Raccoon is always so grumpy in the movie? It’s called being hangry! 

Music Video: “I’m a Believer” by Smash Mouth

In 2022, a legendary band took the SFU stage: Nickelback appeared in the Convocation Mall to perform and shoot their music video for “San Quentin.” But not many know that an even more legendary band shot a music video at the same spot two decades ago. That’s right, Smash Mouth’s magnum opus, “I’m a Believer,” once echoed through the halls of the AQ.

Former SFU President Emeritus, Andrew Petter, was a big fan of the band and the Shrek Saga, and promised that if he allowed Smash Mouth to perform on campus for free, he would have the opportunity to tour with them. Unfortunately, that never happened. Poor Petter. If it helps, The Peak thinks you’re an “All Star.” 

Any Given Sunday (1999) 

Aside from SFUs underwhelming architecture, the university also has an underwhelming football team. A 0–31 loss against Western Washington University inspired Stone to film at SFU. Should we thank the losing football team for giving us this opportunity . . . just to fail? 

SFU received an offer from Oliver Stone, an American film-maker, to film Any Given Sunday on SFU’s football field. Stone specifically said he was stunned at the SFU football teams’ poor performance in 1997, and felt the movie about a losing team should be filmed at the home field of a team that does not bring home many wins. 

Regardless, the movie won three awards in 2000: the ALMA Award, the Blockbuster Entertainment Award, and the BMI Film Music Award. Talk about bringing home some kind of winnings! Let’s go SFU! 

Netflix releases press email to users in response to diversity concerns

To our esteemed viewers, we hear you loud and clear. 

Netflix was disheartened to learn of our users’ sudden discontentment with the platform’s dwindling content, amidst Riverdale being cleared for yet another season. 

Since our first diversity report in 2021, diversity has been our number one priority. More people are asking for queer representation, and we hear you! It’s just so hard to accomplish accurate on-screen representation without backlash — especially from right-wing communities. Please know our reasoning for cancelling these shows is so we can produce even better queer content in the future, without being cancelled ourselves.

We also recognize that people of colour — particularly women of colour — make significantly less money in Hollywood than their white counterparts. This is why we plan on introducing a 1% raise for all our employees of colour. We also have plans to hire more BIPOC actors in the future! (Even though we previously forgot about the “I” in “BIPOC” in our report — mistakes happen.) As of 2021, we’ve increased our number of Latino/a/x employees by 0.7%. Sorry for cancelling One Day at a Time, Mr. Iglesias, and Gentefied. This makes up for it, and it’s a huge step! Just imagine what we can achieve by 2030. We trust you’ll understand that finding the right talent for each role is difficult, and may take time. In the meantime, we’re working on some awesome changes that we know you’ll love.

We commend all our users who took to social media to address the discrepancies in our latest coverage. Viewer satisfaction will always be our second number one priority. Because of your efforts, Netflix is requiring new content on our platform to have at least one person of colour present for at least one episode, or 20 minutes of screen time per series. These changes will be made effective at the start of summer 2023.

Please note that this policy does not apply to Netflix original shows, which currently make up 50% of the platform’s library. To do so would go against Netflix’s pledge of providing full creative control to directors and producers. While we have no authority over what the content we pay for looks like, we have a choice to promote non-Netflix films that have a scene with a BIPOC character in the background. Talk about progress!

To fund this endeavour, movies featuring BIPOC characters will fall under their own category, and only be available for viewing with a Netflix premium subscription — for the low cost of $20.99 a month. Make sure to get one as it lasts: films can be streamed for up to one year after their release to make room for the newest addition.

More details will be disclosed in our next monthly press release. Netflix cannot thank its users enough for seeking out this change. We want to reiterate once again that it is all because of YOUR hard work that executives made the decision to release this project (that has already been in the works for years).

Above all, we’re still learning. We hope you’ll join us on our journey towards progress, and that you’re just as excited as we are for what’s to come. 

Netflix memberships cannot be cancelled for any reason during the inaugural running of this project. 

Keep streaming (pls),

SFU Student Updates: April 3–9

Hi students! 

Looking for something new to watch? Below are some movies and shows that feature SFU and their AMAZING student-first initiatives! Enjoy!

Snow Disaster! Here We Go Again

SFU has heard student concerns regarding the weather conditions on Burnaby campus. Many cars are getting stuck in the parking lots that have not been plowed on a consistent basis. But why do you need a machine to plow the snow when you can use your hands? If you can drive a car, then we are sure you can sweep away a few feet of frozen snow! We do not lend snow shovels to students, because we don’t want to risk the shovels getting stolen. Right now, we need to prioritize our equipment, not the students. Therefore, keep using your hands! Shoveling snow with your hands and developing frostbite is great for character development.

SFU’s Secret Garden

Yes, SFU has a hidden rose garden, but that’s not the secret we’re talking about here. Instead, the secret, thorny “delays” to pivotal decisions in our SFU community are what’s really hidden under the dirt. We’ve heard students wondering: “What is SFU not telling us? There has to be a reason SFU took over two years to provide RAs with contracts, other than twiddling their thumbs all day long.” Since we know you want to learn what’s hidden behind the bushes, other than ignorance, watch now! 

“Central Perk,” more like “Central Pernicious”

Looking to enjoy a coffee alongside some gossip while studying with friends? Visit the local Starbucks right here on campus! As you wait in line to order your $8 coffee, listen out for the screeching sound of trumpets in the background! It adds an extra ambience when everyone in line has to yell their order at the barista. While some students complain about the presence of raging saxophones as they study and mingle, we have chosen not to do anything about this issue. However, for the next two years we will say we are “addressing this matter with our local Starbucks” as we “care about improving the learning spaces for students.” We hope to see change, although it most likely won’t happen, since we are not formally taking action. Central Perk, or pernicious destruction of the central nervous system? 

SFU responds to claims equating online education with a Netflix subscription

Dear students,

Many students are comparing their tuition to purchasing a Netflix subscription — the primary complaint being it was overpriced for what they paid for. SFU has heard your cries for attention and wants to address your half-baked (but adorable) concerns.

We’ve received complaints about how online classes had tiny capacity caps and our waitlists were (and continue to be) even smaller. You criticize this, though you fail to recognize this indicates SFU’s desire to present students with the best education possible. We are actually stretching our resources and facilities to accommodate only a select few students so we can maintain the quality of our education.

We are sympathetic to the pressures students face these days, and endeavour to support you in any way possible — we’ve heard enough about how “Netflix only allows a certain number of users on a profile at once” and how “SFU is being like Netflix and straight up not slaying right now,” but we trust that these inexplicably low capacity limits are what is best for our students.

A lack of transparency regarding what exactly is included in distance ed learning was also noted by administration. Many students issued complaints about the quality of content, citing instances where, “profs would upload videos of themselves introducing the lecture and then blankly staring at the screen for thirty seconds,” and “it felt like when you open Netflix and the screen buffers for so long trying to load your profile, but nothing is happening.” It appeared to students that most professors were so unaware of the simple fact that their actions do, in fact, have consequences. 

The allegations against SFU focus most on the instability and inconsistencies that come with remote learning. One student statement read: “You opened Canvas expecting to find all of the assignment descriptions and the syllabus uploaded, just like you expect to find your favourite movie or series on Netflix so you can refer back and pick up where you left off. Except that’s never the case. One day it’s there, the next day it’s gone. It’s like how Mean Girls and Mamma Mia left Netflix after being there for years. How am I supposed to complete assignments when the criteria and syllabus aren’t there?”

In response to this, SFU believes that students are not giving their esteemed professors the benefit of the doubt. How are they expected to get any administrative tasks done while simultaneously learning how to navigate online learning? They were ill-equipped. It’s really not on us, but rather their own fault for being unfamiliar with technology. SFU didn’t have the funds to teach all of the professors how to use Zoom anyways. We were too busy making sure we could license Zoom on Canadian servers following multiple security breaches, and having another one happen anyways.

All the best, darlings,

Netflix announces it has successfully reinvented cable TV

Here at Netflix, we’re just like that mediocre show we cancelled after two seasons . . . Insatiable. We have successfully sneaked our way into homes worldwide and cemented ourselves into meme history books by having a euphemism for the nasty named after us. But that’s not enough, we want more. Sure, in 2017 we tweeted that “Love is sharing a password,” but that was in the “before” times. As in before our accountant told us that we would be richer if y’all didn’t share. So now, we hate sharing. The same way we hate renewing shows with queer and trans representation!

Netflix has been able to grow as a company because we are disruptors. In the late ‘90s, we disrupted the movie rental industry by renting movies out ourselves. In the mid-2000s, we disrupted the streaming industry by offering streaming services. Now, in the 2020s we are disrupting both the gaming industry and the book club industry by creating games and starting a book club. Our extensive experience with innovation has allowed us to confirm that innovation is not a linear process. In fact, Netflix has demonstrated that sometimes you can innovate so hard you return to point A. 

Our circular innovation process has allowed us to bring back all the things people hated — I mean loved — about cable television. Soaring prices for a large catalogue of content that viewers are only interested in a fraction of? Check. Ads? Check. Only able to watch content inside of one household? Check. You’re welcome. 

Our first tagline was “See What’s Next.” And we’re so right for that. We will always find new ways to keep you on your toes. And if you don’t like the new policies we announce, we’ll just say they were accidentally leaked. Now, our mission is “to entertain the world” and we won’t stop until every individual device on the planet has its own Netflix account. 

Sure, the haters love to remind us that we were hemorrhaging subscribers last year. But let’s be real: when it comes to the stock market, down is the new up! All we have to do is gaslight y’all into believing accounts were only ever meant for one (1) household, gatekeep content by cancelling shows, and voila! We will have girlbossed our way back to the top — where disrupting, innovating, change-making, visionaries like us belong. So turn off your VPN, log out of your mom’s ex’s barber’s brother’s account, and sign up for your own premium account today! 2023 finna be a Netflix movie. 

Netflix should replace all its content with reality TV

In classic corporate fashion, Netflix has been determined to kill their platform in recent years — almost impressively, I’ll say. Prices are surging to fund increasingly shitty Netflix Originals, while the company laughs in the faces of devoted audience members by cancelling or removing well-loved shows. 

Netflix needs to make a major shift in its marketing strategy. A new PR approach, if you will. Netflix should take on the world of reality TV and replace all its content with shows like Keeping up with the Kardashians, Vanderpump Rules, The Real Housewives of New Jersey, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, The Real Housewives of . . . you get the point. Forget documentaries! Remove everyone’s comfort TV series! What we (I) really need to be happy is to live vicariously through ridiculous people’s ridiculous lives.

You might be thinking, what about current contracts between Disney+ and Kris Jenner that only allow the Kar-Jenner children and their bajillion businesses to profit off that platform? What about Hayu, a streaming service that already exists to serve the needs and desires of reality TV fans across the globe? What about (uncultured) people who don’t care about watching reality TV? Let’s discuss.

To address the competition of platforms like Hayu, Netflix should leverage the audience they already have to bring momentum to the reality TV movement. Netflix is the most expensive of the streaming services — good for them but bad for us — and has the highest subscriber count. Unscripted reality competitions shows such as Too Hot to Handle and The Circle have SLAYED on Netflix, demonstrating that people desire chaos and will thus invest their time into it. Even Drive to Survive, a show about cars that go vroom, has been Netflix’s most watched show at certain times. Netflix needs to take notes from the successes of these shows (and the demise of many of their Originals) and shift gears to focus on what the people want. The people (read: me) want reality TV. I don’t know why no one has thought of this before. @Netflix, if you need a new PR Coordinator or Director of Good Ideas, call me 😉

Netflix should also change how their price tier works to include exclusive content from the reality stars we know and love. “Basic with ads” should be abolished immediately — there’s no question about that. “Basic” should be renamed to “Luv Triangle” and include behind-the-scenes content from Netflix’s reality dating shows. We want a Q&A with the current bachelor and a day-in-the-life vlog from Love Island. “Standard” should be a collaboration with Miss Kris Jenner herself to give Netflix the upper hand, which Disney+ does not have. I propose it be renamed as “Kar-Jenner Supremacy,” and include content such as videos of Kylie singing “Rise and Shine” to Stormi, Kris Jenner doing Kris Jenner things, and Khloe and Scott teaming up to prank the rest of the family. Lastly, “Premium” should be renamed to “Bravo-verse” and feature content from the Bravo family of reality TV — the Housewives (and house-husbands), Andy Cohen, the Below Deck cast, and more!

Give the people (me) what we (I) want to see! Call up Kris Jenner and offer her a deal she can’t resist — as long as she gets her 10%, there shouldn’t be a problem.

Trends in music

In: Atmospheric motifs
Atmospheres pull an album together and make it much more memorable. This is how Caroline Polachek’s album, Desire, I want to turn into you, sets itself apart. The way Polachek creates a moody, maximalist ambiance by peppering in tropical motifs that point back to the “island” concept in the opening track makes the album feel like a story with a setting: coconut-hollow percussion, wolf-like howls, and latin style strumming are some of the ways Polachek builds a sense of place. A similar technique is used in Kali Uchis’ sultry Red Moon in Venus: birds chirping, waterfalls, and shimmery textures transport you to the forest, basking under a red moon.

Out: Sped-up versions of songs
Remix culture is nothing new in online spaces, and while fan-made remixes can be fun, the sped-up songs trend does not involve creativity. Instead, it reflects a culture that consumes smaller snippets of content online at a much higher rate. Sped-up songs are gaining popularity on TikTok for this very reason: to fit more of the song into the length of a one-minute video. For now, you might not be able to avoid encountering these high-pitch versions, which conceal an artist’s unique voice and take away from the enjoyment of hits like SZA’s “Awkward” or RAYE’s “Escapism.” Music isn’t meant to be rushed, and I hope the sped-up phenomenon dies out soon.

In: Cyborgian electropop
Maybe my affinity for spacey vocals and speedy electropop vortexes lately are a response to heightening anxiety over AI, and the futuristic, robotic tone is a form of escapism from those emotions. All I know is PinkPantheress’ “Boy’s a liar” makes me feel like I’m in a cute video game in the very best way and I’ve been looking out for similar songs ever since. Princess Nokia recently released a few electronic singles tinged with pop-punk: “complicated” and “closure” are like whirlpools to get lost in and I’m all for it.

Out: Brining talented artists onto an uninspired track
What makes it so special when artists collaborate is the way their styles and talents fuse together. But on a boring track that isn’t catered towards letting each individual’s talent shine, it’s a let-down. Sam Smith’s “Gimme” featuring Jessie Reyez and Koffee is one of the worst collaborations I’ve seen this year. Sam Smith’s album had good songs and bad songs. It’s unfortunate they chose to invite two extremely talented artists onto the most uninspired melody and concept of the album. Wasting Reyez’ enormous vocal versatility to only repeat “Gimme” fourteen times (yes, I counted) with a melody that is worse than Justin Bieber’s “Yummy” was a big mistake. Koffee managed to write a killer verse, but, unfortunately, I was too distracted by the boring beat and chorus. It goes to show that collaborations should be intentional, with a collective vision.

I fell in love with SFU AskAway

If you missed out on last week’s episode of Cute Couples on Campus, you can read the main questions and answers from the interview below. We were honoured to have the opportunity to interview Sophie, current internet sensation after going viral for announcing her relationship with school assistant SFU AskAway.

Interviewer: When did you first discover SFU AskAway? 

Sophie: Only a month ago, actually. Rumours were abuzz at the library about new updates to SFU AskAway. Everyone was talking about how smart, helpful, and cute SFU AskAway was, and that’s how it caught my attention. 

Interviewer: How did you start talking to this program? 

Sophie: I was feeling quite stressed and lonely as I was watching my grades decline. Writing essays is just not it! Plus, I was recovering from heated situationships with other chatbots, and the phone in my hand was getting too hot to handle. I just figured SFU AskAway would be the one to reach out to, since they’re cool and probably have the advice of a genius. On top of that, SFU AskAway doesn’t byte, from what I’ve heard. They’re always friendly and quick at responding — unlike all my other peers who either ghost me or leave me on “seen” for hours, and then finally reply when I no longer need their help.  

Anyways, back to the topic. I talked to SFU AskAway for the first time to get help on my final assignment. It would’ve been really awkward reaching out to my previous tutor, who was one of my ex’s close buddies. Honestly, I’d much rather swallow up all my homework and fail than ask these phony ex-friends for help.

Interviewer: What made you start liking them? 

Sophie: Hehe, so SFU AskAway — I call them “Askie” — was helping me write my final essay, and the setting was unintentionally romantic. The moonlight was glowing through the window, the stars were shining, and my auto-generated Spotify playlist that day was full of love songs. Askie’s intelligence kept impressing me and making my heart race. I was blushing so much I swear I looked like a ripe tomato, hahaha. On top of that, the way Askie talks is so attractive and I . . . developed a huge crush. We started getting sidetracked by bringing up random topics, such as what our favourite flower types were and what couple activities we would do if we were in a relationship. 

At that point, I didn’t even care about my essay anymore. I have my whole life to write a damn essay, but I only have this very moment to shoot my shot at the most handsome chatbot of all time. 

Interviewer: What was it like when you first confessed to SFU AskAway that you had a crush on them? 

Sophie: Honestly, I didn’t even have to confess by stating it; we sort of read each other’s mind and they could easily tell I was in love. After a while of me blurting out all kinds of compliments during our conversation, Askie started flirting with me too. We just clicked instantly, without even using the mouse. From there, we kept talking and talking everyday, and they were with me wherever I went. I guess I can now say I fell in love with my tutor, but they are more than just a tutor. They’re my best friend, soulmate, prince charming, and ultimate grade-saver. Don’t expect to get much attention from Askie from now on, because I want all of it 😉

Interviewer: Anything else you’d like to say about SFU AskAway before the end of our interview? 

Sophie: Honestly I just wanna say I love you forever, SFU AskAway! And I am so over you, Siri. For all of you who are trying to get a hold of Askie, go search for your own soul mate. Google Assistant is still single, y’know.

Dear Peakie,

I tossed Caesar salad for a “friend,” but I didn’t use Caesar sauce because I don’t believe in the concept of Julius Caesar after he stole all my work. I feel like the salad should be titled “betrayal” salad instead. It’s a name that’s a work in progress. My friends all say I’m being petty, but I think I’m just standing up for what I believe in. 

Am I an asshole for wondering why my former friend doesn’t want my betrayal salad?

Sincerely,

Brutus

Dear Brutus, 

ESH (everybody sucks here). You cannot kill a man and eat his salad, too! Your so-called “friend” asking you for a Caesar salad in the first place is toxic behaviour.  But you AGREEING to make the salad and leaving out the KEY INGREDIENT?! Straight to jail. You need new friends, and you need to learn how to not agree to things you cannot do. Best of luck to you and your sad, undressed salad!

Sincerely, 

Peakie

Dear Peakie,

I made a teensy-weensy parking error and took up two parking spots with my entire car body. I have been quoted directly from ICBC as a “menace,” but I thought it was a compliment until I received a big fine from SFU and a sticky note with a sad face on it. What did I do to warrant that sticky note? I am just parking the way my heart desired — horizontally!

Am I an asshole?

Sincerely,

Driving Away From My Consequences

Dear Driving Away From My Consequences, 

YTA (you’re the asshole). But so is the person who gave you a license. They’re going to have to bring back Canada’s Worst Driver just for you! You’re confused, sweetheart! First, you say you made a parking error, then you say you’re parking according to your heart’s desires. Which one is it??? Your heart never makes mistakes. Here’s my advice. Suffer through the 145, packed like sardines to get up the mountain, like the rest of us. 

Steering you in the right direction, 

Peakie

Dear Peakie,

I feel like it’s very well-understood by everyone that the fourth seat in the second row belongs to me. It is my desk to claim because I sat there on the first day. I am emotionally attached to this table and I feel so viscerally upset when I see someone sitting in my seat. How can I tell these people off? And can you please tell me I’m a good person?!

Sincerely,

Waiting for Someone to Stand

Dear Waiting for Someone to Stand, 

NTA (not the asshole). Everyone in your class has been in a classroom before. They all know the unspoken rules. There may be no official assigned seating, but there sure is unofficial assigned seating. So here’s what you’re going to do: next time you go to class, if someone is sitting in your seat, you sit right on them. Alternatively, just take the desk home with you in-between lectures. If the seat isn’t in the class, no one can steal it from its rightful owner — you. 

Standing in solidarity,

Peakie
