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. "On set, nothing is better than if you can make the crew go, "Bleh!" he laughs. "For the second time in my…
