Known for her work on the acclaimed miniseries "Lawmen: Bass Reeves," Dancy's impressive portfolio includes "Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody," "Devotion," and the documentary "Aftershock." In this captivating interview, Dancy delves into her creative process, discussing the meticulous research and preparation behind crafting the perfect orchestral language for "Lawmen: Bass Reeves." She also shares her profound sense of responsibility when composing for the Whitney Houston biopic. From her early days in Houston, where her classical musician mother introduced her to violin at preschool age, to her pivotal moment at Houston Baptist University where her passion for film scoring ignited, Dancy's story is one of perseverance and "divine timing." We explore how a short film she wrote, directed, and scored became her ticket to USC's prestigious film scoring program. The conversation is peppered with fascinating anecdotes, including a pivotal encounter with legendary composer Mike Post (known for "Law & Order" and "NYPD Blue") during her internship days. Dancy's journey wasn't without challenges - after USC, she found herself serving coffee and working at an internet company. But for this determined dreamer, these humble beginnings were just the prelude to an extraordinary career. Join us as we uncover the story of a talented artist who refused to give up, leading to a snowball of opportunities that shaped her into the acclaimed composer she is today. This episode is a must-listen for aspiring musicians, film enthusiasts, and anyone who believes in the power of perseverance. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/postinblack/support

How does a religion that claims to be rooted in love and peace fire people up to commit violence, as at the Capitol on January 6, 2021? In a brand-new documentary, “God & Country”, producer Rob Reiner and director Dan Partland explore Christian Nationalism — a toxic brew of patriarchal White Nationalism and messianic faith. Based on the book “The Power Worshippers: Inside the Dangerous Rise of Religious Nationalism” by Katherine Stewart, “God & Country” exposes how Christian Nationalism poses a real and immediate threat, not only to the very idea of secular democracy but also to Christianity itself. Reiner is an Emmy-winning actor and acclaimed director, best known for his work on “All In The Family”, “When Harry Met Sally” and “The Princess Bride”. He is also a political activist dedicating his time to numerous social justice causes. Partland, a veteran documentary producer and director for film and television, is a five-time Emmy nominee with two Emmys for Best Nonfiction Series including American High on Fox. Whether you're a Christian or a concerned citizen, this episode is a must-watch. Plus, a closing commentary from Laura on becoming actively engaged in our democracy.

Netflix's Korean drama Squid Game was a worldwide sensation. It's a violent and artful horror series, a survival drama, and a commentary on debt and capitalism. The show earned 14 Emmy nominations, and could make history as the first-ever non-English series to win in the outstanding drama category. In this encore episode, we revisit our conversation about the first season.
The fun mystery-comedy Only Murders in the Building series stars Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez as a trio of true-crime podcast fans who live in the same ritzy building on New York's Upper West Side.
