Guess who's back for... a HOLIDAY SPECIAL? The rookie superheroes of Halcyon city still have loads on their plates--supervillains at large that may or may not be parallel versions of you, government agencies just waiting for you to slip up, rocky relationships and "will they won't they" dance numbers--but the stresses of the holiday season aren't going to hold back on that account! Also, do you hear something menacing in the distance?

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 274 (Masks 6.1)

Holiday preparations are disrupted when Ninelives Mark Four, also known as Scratch, makes landfall at Halcyon City!

How will our heroes fare against their biggest foe yet? Stay tuned!

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 275 (Masks 6.2)

Folks, it's another episode where I really can't say much without spoiling everything, which in my book always means it's a real humdinger of an episode. As Mark Four continues to rampage, Pipa gets in place to enact her master plan, but she's not letting anyone else in on what that actually is...

Content warning for urban destruction, industrial machinery, explosions, bodily control, and character death (kinda).

As the dust settles, sparks fly! Pipa may have put an end to Scratch's rampage, but her... question means have landed her soundly on Juno's bad side! How far will she go to try and make things right? Meanwhile, Luke is dedicated to giving his team some Christmas spirit no matter what violations of trust they may have endured/caused, and Pate tries to bring her Big Sis energy to bear. Will any of it be enough? Listen to find out!

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 277 (Masks 6.4)

Just because we're over halfway through January IRL doesn't mean we can't keep the Christmas content rolling! The New Wave should be preparing to spend the big day together, but unfortunately, they're superheroes. That means they have to deal with annoying hassles like foiling cloudy criminals, inventing sci-fi doodads, tracking down their evil future self, and dealing with unwanted fame.

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 278 (Masks 6.5)

Our young heroes have a lot to struggle with, whether it's their future selves, less-than-cooperative superheroes, concerned parental figures, or evil boys made out of cloud-stuff. Plenty happens in this episode but that's all I can think to say about it, so you've just gotta listen to learn more.

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 279 (Masks 6.6)

Everyone in New Wave has their own issues to deal with, whether it's evil parallel selves, constant threats to their autonomy, or a mysterious past that overlaps unexpectedly with an uncertain present. Now, they're going to have opportunities to resolve those issues... and to really screw themselves over with some of the worst rolls we've ever witnessed on this podcast!

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 280 (Masks 6.7)

Things are poppin' off in many places at once as a solid 75% of the New Wave find themselves facing off against deadly adversaries! Pate has a close-quarters tangle with Bodach, for once unsure if she should stand her ground or try to get away; Pipa has to deal with Lady Photon's surprise attack, with Agent Tan as either an unexpected ally or a serious liability; and Luke must defend his jerk-ass adoptive dad from Le Chat, despite the fact that he's got an anti-speedster payload. Surely Juno will be able to help tip the scales... assuming she doesn't butt heads with another hero on the way over. But why would I even say that?

Content warnings for brief suicidal ideation, gunfire and gun injury, and prisons.

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 282 (Masks 6.9)

Three big fights come to a head! Luke is doing his damnedest to foil his father-figure's assassination, but is Le Chat just too much robot catboy to handle? Meanwhile, Juno's on the scene with Pipa and Luca, but the situation's only going to get messier, especially for Pipa. And of course, what will happen when Pate finds herself locked in combat with someone who's just plain stronger than her? In this episode, things are going to change...

Content warning for prisons, bullet wounds, urban collateral damage, bodily transformation, and execution imagery.

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 283 (Masks 6.10)

The dust has barely begun to settle after the New Wave's averted implosion when their reaffirmed comradery is threatened by an outside force: AEGIS! Did you really expect this campaign to end without us picking another fight with the cops? In this thrilling throw-down of an episode, Pate flexes her timeskip development, Juno is a friend 'til the end, Pipa shows off yet another cool bike trick, and Luke crosses a point of no return.

Content warning for threats of police and gun violence, helicopter near-crash, brief suicide reference.
