Description
Two passions, one podcast. Join host Benjamin Schneider and a rotating cast of cinephile guests as we pair exceptional films with exceptional coffee—not just by taste, but by theme. Each episode is a masterclass in cinema and craft roasting, exploring the scenes, symbols, and ideas that spark real-world conversations long after the credits roll. From philosophical depth to cultural commentary, we journey through film history one cup at a time, examining stories that challenge, comfort, and inspire.
Come for the cinema, stay for the brew. There's always something worth savoring.
Sip. Watch. Repeat.
