First part of South Park: Fractured But Whole is to play South Park: The Stick of Truth. I don’t mean to be reductive, but Stick of Truth is so good. And I mention it for a reason – Fractured But Whole is a great game to play and a fantastic experience, but is essentially expansive downloadable content (DLC) for the original. But the most lovingly crafted and inspired DLC with fine tweaks to the nooks and crannies of the gameplay experience.

1922 is the newest Stephen King adaptation to make it to the big screen, via the small screens of Netflix. It also marks the sixth Stephen King adaptation this year alone – following films The Dark Tower, It, Gerald’s Game, and the TV shows The Mist and Mr. Mercedes. It’s like those years where Alicia Vikander or Jessica Chastain just happen to be in 10 movies. I’ll be honest and say I hadn’t even heard of the novella before hearing of this new Netflix horror flick – it seems like they’re coming out of the woodwork now. Is it worth it to return to the well once more for 1922? Surprisingly, yes.
