ep. 50: Riz Ahmed Review ft. Cecelia Naciri

CINESTARS! The time has come! For another fantastical adventure to the land of ACTOR CAREER REVIEWS! This week we review the insanely talented, multi-faceted, rapper, actor, activist Riz Ahmed! Who is now the first Muslim to be nominated for an Academy Award. Great? Great. That you brought that up… because Riz speaks openly about lack of representation in the entertainment industry. He even helped develop a test to measure the portrayal of Muslims in film and TV. We talk about his activism, rap career, and of course dive into his awesome acting resume. Joining us on this episode is our good friend and super talented actress Cecelia Naciri! She helps us break down the best and baddest works of this world class performer. Hope you’re hungry CineFreaks, it’s chow time. Riz Films: Sound of Metal / Venom / Nightcrawler / Mogul Mowgli / Rogue One: A Star Wars Story / Four Lions / The Reluctant Fundamentalist / Jason Bourne Did you enjoy the episode?
