This month, Ian and Sujewa look at a very unusual movie about movies: Ming-Liang Tsai's Goodbye, Dragon Inn!

The guys return to their Slow Cinema roots with this glacially paced drama centering on the closing of a Taiwanese art theatre. Sujewa says it works as a rare example of Buddhist art-as-cinema. Ian appreciates its commitment to capturing a very specific cultural moment in time.

But does it work as a movie?

Find out in this lively lesson in patience and world religions--which also features a surprising update on Sujewa's film, The Secret Society for Slow Romance!
