<p>This week, <em>This Must Be the Gig</em> is joined by actor, filmmaker, musician, and fearless activist Rose McGowan. Known for her roles in films like <em>Scream</em> and <em>Jawbreaker</em> and TV shows like <em>Charmed</em>, Rose's recent life has been dedicated to bringing the horrors of abusers such as Harvey Weinstein to light and to justice—a subject she faces with boundless fortitude.</p>
<p>Most recently, she has turned her passion towards making music, namely the new album <em>Planet 9</em>. Rose envisioned this alternate planet as a child, and has shared an album encapsulating the feeling of hope, escape, and light for herself and for listeners as a comfort, solace, and respite. In this chat, Rose and host Lior Phillips discuss what it took to bring <em>Planet 9</em> to life, speaking your truth, using music as mind medicine, and so much more.</p>
