CW: In this episode we discuss violence involving children and pedophilia. 

In this episode, a father and daughter with psychic powers flee from a secret government agency trying to kill them. Along the way, they ruin the lives of an innocent farmer, blow up a few police cars and set a bunch of things on fire. 

Look, I’ll level with you, we’re not quite sure what to say about this one. 1984’s Firestarter was a meandering slog through a labrynth of wasted potential, and while the 2022 reboot may have cut out some of the fluff, it still left a bad taste in our mouth. 

One thing we do know: Stephen King deserves better than this.
