- David Wright's Top Moments, Soto Snubbed, Lindor's Slump | Giant Mess
In this jam-packed episode of Giant Mess, Neal Lynch digs deep into the biggest stories and turning points from July of the New York Mets’ 2025 season. We break down the good, the bad, and the ugly: eking out wins against struggling teams, bouncing back from a brutal June, and surviving a turbulent All-Star break marked by Francisco Lindor’s starter nod and Pete Alonso’s near-MVP performance.
Has Lindor finally won over the entire fanbase? All that, plus signature rants and hilarious Home Run Derby grievances.

1 hr 13 min - Black Mirror Season 7 Review: A Hopeful Twist on Tech Dystopia | Giant Mess
Season 7 of Black Mirror is here, and it’s not quite the digital doomfest you might expect. In this episode, I break down all six new stories—from the much-anticipated “USS Callister: Into Infinity” to the emotionally charged “Eulogy”—and explore how creator Charlie Brooker has shifted the series’ tone. This season blends inventive sci-fi with more emotionally resonant, even hopeful, storytelling, marking a noticeable departure from the show’s trademark bleakness. I’ll dive into each episode’s plot twists, standout performances, and the critical reception, discussing whether this “return to form” really signals a new era for Black Mirror. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a newcomer, join me for a deep dive into the season’s divisive but fascinating blend of classic cautionary tales, human connection, and maybe—just maybe—a little optimism in the digital age.
