Welcome to Cinephile Magazine! Richard and Safi are content creators who have a passion for cinema. On this feed, you’ll find episodes of The Cinephile Magazine Podcast, The Casual Cinephile, and ongoing specials & series covering various topics of interest.

From time to time, discussions of seminal works from the past will take precedence over new releases. Each episode is a discussion and not a typical review.
