We’ve spent the last couple of months brainstorming special perks for our members for 2025. We have some sweet CineJourneys branded swag, including drink sleeves (aka “Koozies” but we really, really hate that word), stickers, post cards, and buttons that will go out to all of our Deep Focus and Magic Hour subscribers. If you’re a current subscriber at one of these tiers, you’ll receive your swag a month or two into the new year.
For our Magic Hour subscribers, we’ve planned something extra special to show our gratitude for your support. In collaboration with our good friend, illustrator Caitlin Kuhwald, we’ve commissioned a sketch of Toshiro Mifune, inspired by his role in Yojimbo (1961). This illustration will be featured on our exclusive, official CineJourneys 2025 tee. It will only be available to our Magic Hour subscribers as part of their membership perks and will not be available for purchase. Ever.
That means if you want this tee, and we suspect many of you will, subscribe to Magic Hour between now and 12/31/2025 and it’s yours. Current Magic Hour/Founding Members, don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten about you– you’ll be the first to get the 2025 tee since you’ve been with us in these early days. We’ll reach out to all of our Magic Hour subscribers to get t-shirt sizes and to confirm addresses. We do ask for patience as we fulfill these.

For those of you who are subscribed at a different level or have been considering signing up for CineJourneys, our Magic Hour subscription tier is the best value. Not only do you receive this exclusive tee and other swag with each year, you will have access to our monthly free Journeys (including past archived Journeys), early-access to podcast episodes, priority registration and discounts for Journeys and online classes by our Guides, giveaways, and much more. If you would like to upgrade to Magic Hour from an existing paid subscription tier, reach out to us and we can help with that.

Here’s to a Happy New Year at CineJourneys!
