Is this the most chaotic offseason in New York Mets franchise history? We break down the "Great Purge," David Stearns' roster overhaul, and give our official 2026 Mets season predictions.

In this Giant Mess, Neal Lynch dives into the state of the Mets empire on the eve of Opening Day. After saying goodbye to franchise cornerstones like Pete Alonso, Edwin Diaz, Brandon Nimmo, and Jeff McNeil, the front office rebuilt a pennant contender in just 90 days.

We cover all the blockbuster signings and trades, including Bo Bichette's shocking move to third base, Jorge Polanco at first, Luis Robert Jr. taking over center field, and Juan Soto's shift to left. Plus, we look at the revamped pitching rotation featuring Freddy Peralta, Nolan McLean, and the bullpen additions of Devin Williams and Luke Weaver. Will this completely retooled roster be enough to guarantee a playoff spot, or will it backfire?

• Intro: The State of the Mets Empire
• The "Great Purge" (Losing Alonso, Diaz, Nimmo, & McNeil)
• David Stearns' Masterclass: Rebuilding in 90 Days
• The New Infield: Polanco, Semien & Bo Bichette
• Outfield Shuffle: Juan Soto in Left & Luis Robert Jr. in Center
• Starting Rotation Breakdown: Freddy Peralta & Nolan McLean
• Fixing the Bullpen: Luke Weaver & Devin Williams
• Season Predictions & Player Projections

Join host Neal Lynch for a giant breakdown of Edgar Wright’s The Running Man (2025), starring Glen Powell. In this deep dive, we compare this gritty, satirical adaptation to Stephen King’s (Richard Bachman) original 1982 novel and the campy 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger classic.

Topics covered in this episode:

The Adaptation: How Wright pivots from 80s action cheese to systemic horror and the "banality of evil".

Glen Powell as Ben Richards: Analyzing the shift from Arnie’s muscle to a "pre-tubercular" (but surprisingly shredded) desperate father.

The Satire: A look at the "Americanos" Kardashian parody, the "Speed the Wheel" game show with Sean Hayes, and the controversial Liquid Death product placement.

The Ending Explained: Why the film changed the novel’s "unfilmable" kamikaze climax to a story of survival and revolution.

Box Office vs. Streaming: Why the film bombed in theaters with a $110M budget but found redemption as a streaming hit on Apple TV and Paramount

The Marvel Cinematic Universe officially kicks off Phase 6 with Fantastic Four: First Steps, and Giant Mess podcast host Neal Lynch has a LOT to say about it.

In this episode of Giant Mess, I break down Marvel’s retro-futuristic, 1960s-set reboot of the Fantastic Four — from the stunning visuals and cosmic scale to the big creative swings (and safe choices) that have fans divided.

I dig into:

• Why this is the best Fantastic Four movie yet — but still feels restrained

• The decision to skip an origin story (and why that mostly works)

• Galactus as a true cosmic threat (finally done right)

• Julia Garner’s Silver Surfer and whether the character still connects with modern audiences

• Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn & Ebon Moss-Bachrach’s performances

• How Sue Storm is a tour-de-force

• Cut villains, MCU Easter eggs, and what this movie sets up next

I also dive into Fantastic Four movie history, Marvel rights chaos, and where this reboot fits into the bigger MCU multiverse picture — with plenty of side tangents, sarcasm, and interstellar energy along the way.

🎬 Is Fantastic Four: First Steps the fresh start Marvel needed… or just a safe reset?

In this emotionally charged episode of Giant Mess, Neal Lynch reacts to one of the most frustrating offseasons in Mets history. From trading Brandon Nimmo to the Rangers for Marcus Semien, letting Pete Alonso walk to the Orioles, and watching Edwin Díaz head to L.A., Neal dives into all the monumental moves, the questionable decisions by David Stearns, and the eerie silence from Steve Cohen.

Is the focus on defense worth dismantling the heart of the team? Has Stearns pulled the plug too soon? With Soto left standing and everyone else gone, what’s next for the Mets—and for a fanbase already reeling? Neal unpacks it all with his signature blend of heart, humor, and heartbreak.

The New York Giants finally pulled the plug on head coach Brian Daboll, and Giant Mess podcast host Neal Lynch has thoughts. In this fiery episode, we break down why the Daboll firing was long overdue, the Chicago Bears debacle that sealed his fate, and how the Giants' dysfunction runs deeper than coaching. Neal goes scorched-earth on former starting quarterback Russell Wilson, General Manager Joe Schoen, and anyone defending that 19-yard field goal. Plus, a preview of the Week 11 matchup against the Green Bay Packers, and why it could be a turning point for the G-Men (or another crash and burn).
