Bullsh*t the Game Show tests how well you can come up with a convincing lie + In This Time Tomorrow, the main character gets a chance to redo her life

???? ON THE TUBE TONIGHT-

(all times CLT)

Bullsh*t the Game Show is a competition show that sees how well you can lie through your teeth: If you get impressed with the skill of persuasion, you’ll love Netflix’s most recent game show. Contestants are faced with multiple trivia questions, but if they don’t know the answer they can BS their way through it and try to convince at least one of three judges that their answer is correct. Judges who call out the most lies and point to the right answers play as contestants in the next episode. The prize pool starts from USD 1k and can go up to USD 1 mn based on how many levels you pass. The show is hosted by Howie Mandel — of America’s Got Talent fame — whose comedic persona makes the show a hilarious watch. A handful of people at the Enterprise HQ have reported binge watching the entire show in a sitting, but maybe that’s just us.

???? UNDER THE LAMPLIGHT-

If you could go back in time and make different decisions… would you? That’s the basic premise of the novel This Time Tomorrow by Emma Straub. When Alice falls asleep as a 40-year-old and wakes up as her 16-year-old self, she can change the course of the future by making different choices in the past. Sent back to the carefree days with her best friend, her young love, and her healthy father, Alice must decide what aspects she wants to keep for her older self and what she wants to leave behind. This novel is a sweet take on the passing of time, the power of relationships, and the misguided rush to adulthood. The time travel aspect doesn’t come off as gimmicky while the author brings back a ton of Back to The Future references that will please millennials.
