Firestarter (2022) with Charles Soule
Episode 151, Nov 09, 2022, 09:00 AM
Noted Star Wars novelist and comic book author Charles Soule (Darth Vader, Light of the Jedi) makes his triumphant return to The Kingcast by forcing Wampler and Vespe to watch the new Blumhouse Firestarter movie. And boy did they not like it.
Up for discussion this episode: How's Soule liking being in the Lucasfilm braintrust? How cool is The Push as a power and what would you do with it if you had it? What's up with the totally wild new ending in this movie? Has there actually been a really good adaptation of this novel? And how about a couple of random Malcolm McDowell stories for good measure?
The year of our lord 2022 saw the release of Blumhouse's remake of Firestarter in which a bunch of stuff got changed without much thought and all the stuff they left alone was boring. For the first time this new adaptation is up for discussion and they boys are ready with some sharp, sharp knives.
