We're nominated for a WITCHIE AWARD! Josh talks about astrology house systems, the full moon In Aries, and numerology before welcoming his guest, OA, Watchmen, and Circe writer, Claire Kiechel. The pair discuss getting canceled, Ted Bundy glasses, Netflix, the weird Emmys of 2020, Netflix, Space Jam, and then do a deep dive on cults: Scientology, nxivm and The Vow, and Heaven's Gate. Finally, Josh gets Into Claire's chart. She thought she was an Aries but she's a Pisces! Finally, Josh pulls The High Priestess for you. Witchie Awardhttp://witchessabbat.com/Heaven's Gatehttps://www.heavensgate.com/Space Jam https://www.spacejam.com/

"Knock, Knock, Knockin' on Heaven's Gate" with Claire Kiechel

We are so lucky because – A). We have Claire Kiechel, writer for Watchmen and The OA, on the show this week. And B). She’s discussing Terry Gilliam’s Brazil, which is technically a Christmas movie! She and April elaborate on all the things that make this film magical – the production design, the world building, the performances. Plus, we get a peek inside the writer’s room of Watchmen and hear Claire dissect the motivations of characters like Dr. Manhattan and Angela Abar. The entire first season of Watchmen is available on HBO now. And if you haven’t seen Brazil…why? With April Wolfe and Claire Kiechel. You can let us know what you think of Switchblade Sisters on Twitter or Facebook. Or email us at switchbladesisters@maximumfun.org. Produced by Casey O’Brien and Laura Swisher for MaximumFun.org.
