'The Third Wife' Controversy & Vietnam's Protein Consumption

from Saigoneer Audio Archive · host Saigoneer

On this week's episode we start (1:23) in the movie world. 'The Third Wife,' the critically acclaimed indie film festival darling directed by Ash Mayfair and filmed here, was released in Vietnam recently, but only lasted four days in cinemas before being pulled. We break down the controversy surrounding its use of a 13 year-old actress in erotic scenes, and what it says about Vietnam's movie-going public. Then (15:44), we discuss a report stating that Vietnamese consume much less beef and milk on an annual basis than the global average. Is that a bad thing? What are some possible protein alternatives as African Swine Fever spreads through the country? Tofu? Insects? Hippo meat? As always, we end with Bánh Mì Banter (29:28).
