Synopsis
On Becoming a God in Central Florida (2019) is a dark comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Early-nineties Florida, sticky and broke. Krystal Stubbs scrapes by at a water park until the pyramid scheme that wrecked her family becomes the ladder she decides to climb. Kirsten Dunst leads.
Krystal sets out to beat the system with its own playbook. She claws into the ranks of Founders American Merchandise, a sales cult where the bosses preach like televangelists and recruits drown in debt buying boxes of junk to resell. Around her are Cody (Théodore Pellerin), a sweet true believer, and Obie (Ted Levine), the kingpin who treats this gospel of wealth as the real thing. Dunst plays the knife-edge between desperation and cold nerve, and it carries the whole run.
The show skewers the American dream at its most predatory — the be-your-own-boss hustle that fleeces exactly the people with nothing to spare. One season, acid tone, that signature Florida swelter. A fit for fans of pitch-black satire built around a fierce lead. Stream every episode of On Becoming a God in Central Florida online on iFILM.
