Joining us for a discussion of Joel Coen's 2021 adaptation of Shakespeare's Macbeth is Professor Kathryn Schwarz, who helps us figure out why this is, in fact, a very queer film/play. We talk about why Lady Macbeth is so compelling (hint: high school readings lists may be partially to blame), the unique black and white style of this film, and varying portrayals of the witches.

Content warnings for the film: murder, decapitation, child death
