My guest today is film critic and broadcaster Rhianna Dhillon. She shares with me her love for films and how she started off within the industry. We discuss what it means to her being a critic, and her opinions. Rhianna also talks about her role as a moderator at industry events, the tips she has learned and the guests who have left a lasting impression on her. We chat about the challenges of a freelance life and mental wellbeing. Rhianna also shares her heritage, what her favourite film genre is, and what she would use as a weapon if the zombie apocalypse were to ever happen. And of course, we talk about the quote that continually inspires her.
Rhianna Dhillon has been a film critic for 12 years, beginning her career at BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra as their in-house film critic. Now a film and TV critic on BBC 6Music’s Breakfast Show with Lauren Laverne, Rhianna is also the BBC 5Live film reviewer and hosts the PodPod podcast. Rhianna moderates events and Q&As for BAFTA, Disney, the BFI and others and is currently a Visiting Lecturer at City University of London.
