The Righteous Gemstones
The Righteous Gemstones
Eli Gemstone runs a megachurch with his sons Jesse and Kelvin. The church has made the Gemstone family incredibly wealthy and powerful. For them the church is a business, one to be run ruthlessly and efficiently. Wealth and fame also brings its trappings and indiscretions.

Event Horizon (1997) dives into cosmic terror, but The Righteous Gemstones finds its darkness in gaudy churches, broken families, and ego-fueled sermons wrapped in neon. It’s less about hell in space and more about watching it flourish right here on Earth—loud, absurd, and wearing a rhinestone cross.
