Stephen King Week: Firestarter (1984)

Firestarter movie review from the Salty Nerds has them marveling at just how much Netflix's Stranger Things ripped this movie off.   We all know that the Duffer Brothers were heavily inspired by the work of Stephen King when they were making Stranger Things, but they essentially ripped off the Firestarter 1984 movie starring Drew Barrymore as a child gifted with powerful psychic abilities that is relentlessly pursued by a secretive government agency who wants to either control her or kill her.   Also starring David Keith, Martin Sheen, and George C. Scott as a ponytailed Native American (no joke), this is one of Stephen King's best known horror movies and set the stage for Drew Barrymore to star in E.T.   What is your Firestarter 1984 movie review?  Did you love it?  Hate it?  Did it make you want to burn stuff down?  Let us know in our Discord community!  It's free to join and a great place to interact with the Salty Nerds and share your thoughts!  Join for free here:  http://www.saltynerddiscord.com And if you are a fan of a good horror podcast, scifi podcast, fantasy podcast, and movie review podcast, then be sure to check out our members area.  For just $5 a month you get access to a huge uncensored ad-free back catalog of content, as well as 4 new exclusive episodes every month.  Sign up here to get access:  ▷ SUPPORT THE SHOW: http://www.saltynerdclub.com/   By becoming a Patron of the Salty Nerd Podcast you help us to create great content AND get awesome perks!
