Greasy Spoon. Bloody Murder.
A darkly comedic, 1970s-set adaptation of MacBeth that uses period Americana and genre pastiche to explore ambition and moral corruption with irreverent humor.
In a modernized retelling of "MacBeth" set in 1970s suburban Pennsylvania, Joe McBeth, an unambitious hamburger stand employee, is driven to success by his scheming wife.
