If you want to compliment Leo Wieser, tell him his work makes you gag. "Thank you!" he gushes when I mention my queasy stomach. "That's what makes a good career."
Wieser, the special effects supervisor for Wynonna Earp, and I are discussing the full-body autopsy scene in last week's episode, "Two-Faced Jack," and I'm apparently not the only one who had a guttural reaction to the sequence.

So part of that is being out there in a way that can generate the interest and generate a fanbase that will hopefully buy our products, watch our films, and watch films that we work on. We fully recognize that we're part of an environment that needs to be consumed.
