After 59 Years, Star Trek Has Finally Created the Perfect Khan Replacement

As a lifelong Trekkie, I always thought the rivalry between Kirk and Khan was the greatest thing ever.

36 Years Ago Today, A Cult Sci-Fi Became the 1990s Wildest Stephen King Rip-Off

When a government agency called The Shop learns about her abilities, Andy and his daughter are forced to go on the run, as The Shop wants to control and weaponize her power. Firestarter became a popular cult classic, and the idea of pyrokinesis has become well-known in modern culture, even inspiring the 1990 film Spontaneous Combustion.
