As professional storytellers, we gather to discuss the stories that matter most to us and to offer insights into characters and perspectives that you may not get elsewhere. And with that, POPSKL Podcast presents our deep dive retrospective podcast series into the worlds of Twin Peaks, which we have called: THAT GUM YOU LIKE. On February 24th, 1990, Dale Cooper entered the town of Twin Peaks. A day after Laura Palmer's murder. In this retrospective podcast, we follow in the footsteps of Special Agent Cooper, to open our own episode-by-episode investigation into this groundbreaking show that manages to mash up a murder mystery, a soap opera, a vaudeville show, and early 20th-century Dadaism. Every week we'll dig even deeper with our segment called The Naked Lynch, as we focus in on a single surreal moment. We'll also bring other recommendations to the table. If you love Twin Peaks, you may want to check other things *we* love. And if you're new to Twin Peaks, you're welcome at our fire as half of our podcast team will also be experiencing it for the first time! Today we'll be discussing season 2, episode 13: *Checkmate*. Pull up a stool, let Norma bring you a cup of God’s perfect Joe to wash down that slice of pie, and warm your minds next the fire of our words. New episodes will stream every Tuesday (even if we sometimes say Wednesday in the podcast!) **Your moderator for today: Phillip Kelly** (actor, writer, filmmaker): @phillipcreates [](bio.site/lisakweber)**Kelly Sue Milano** (writer, HEX11): @kellysuesays **Lisa K.
