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.
Acting
Maura Tierney's Lady MacBeth in polyester is deliciously unhinged.
Writing
Burger puns meet iambic pentameter and somehow work.
Production
That orange-and-brown 70s aesthetic is aggressively committed.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Maura Tierney and director Billy Morrissette were married during filming — she allegedly took the role after he couldn't afford a bigger star.
The film bombed in 2001 but found cult status as early-2000s indie Shakespeare adaptations aged into curiosity pieces.
