Show overview
Cinephile with Adnan Virk has been publishing since 2016, and across the 8 years since has built a catalogue of 336 episodes, alongside 1 trailer or bonus episode. That works out to roughly 300 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 46 min and 1h 1m — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-US-language TV & Film show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 1.6 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2020, with 54 episodes published. Published by Adnan Virk, Le Batard & Friends.
