Balderdash! Our game of fake definitions returns with new stupid words that almost nobody has ever heard of before. Which player will reign supreme? (Since Dan’s not on this episode, it probably won’t be Jason.)

Welcome back to “Inconceivable!”, the show that tests two teams’ knowledge of the nerdy, the useless, and the obscure.

For our first show recorded live and in person, our panels tell us the difference between warlocks and wizards, identify Terry Pratchett deities and sci-fi sports, and do a little bit of fantasy casting. Husband-and-wife team Scott McNulty and Marisa McClellan (with third wheel David Loehr) go up against husband-and-wife team Steven Schapansky and Erika Ensign (with third wheel Steve Lutz).

Once a month the Incomparable family plays a game, like you might around the table with your family. This month it’s Balderdash, the game of obscure words and ridiculous definitions. You’ll never look at pooks the same way again.

Balderdash!

This month’s Counterclockwise is all about HBO’s “Game of Thrones.” Is you-know-who really dead? Who is left to cheer for? Are TV viewers supposed to keep spoilers quiet so as not to offend book readers? Of all the deaths, what was the most memorable? We answer the questions you never asked!

This month on Game Night, we take a second spin at playing Trivial Pursuit—the original Genus Edition from the 1980s, of course. Strangely enough, things get a little scatological when we get to the brown spaces.

This month’s Counterclockwise topic is the Marvel Cinematic Universe! And joining us to discuss four Marvel-themed topics are superhero aficionados Lisa Schmeiser and John Moltz. We do some fantasy casting, offer our choices for best and worst Marvel Cinematic Universe releases, plan future Marvel films, and try to find the comedy in super situations.

There was a time when our thoughts turned to Super Bowls and holiday-quarter Apple financial results and the death of the Shack. That long-ago time was February 2015, when Philip Michaels dusted off the old Pundit Showdown format he stole from the BBC and took it to a new level.

That episode was, for reasons undisclosed, never made available publicly. Until now. Does it augur future episodes of the Pundit Showdown here at The Incomparable Game Show? Only time will tell…
