The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of

The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of is back for a whole new season, and it begins with a once-in-a-lifetime auction: HBO and Heritage Auctions' official Game of Thrones auction.  In this first of two episodes covering all the auction action, David and Ryan page through the massive catalog and pick their top 10? 15? 20? favorite things from the over 900(!) lots on offer.  Join the guys as they pore over Valyrian steel, faceless faces, shields, banners, thrones (melted and unmelted), famous wheelchairs, armor, more Valyrian steel, catspaw daggers, Hound helmets, golden hands, dragon eggs, Dothrakiii, gowns, costumes, Hands of the king, and the legendary shame bell.  It would be a shame to miss it.  SHAME!

David and Ryan are joined by friend of the podcast and current reigning-champion guest host Rob Klein to discuss a long bandied-about topic on The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of: the great lost props. Props going missing is, of course, a fact of life in our corner of the collecting world, but this episode highlights the biggest of the bigs -- the Yeti, the Second Gunman on the Grassy Knoll, the Loch Ness monsters -- of missing props. That is, those truly iconic "collection-in-one" props that haven't been reported to exist since filming wrapped. So join the guys (and Rob) in this Season 8 finale for a very nerdy deep dive into the mysterious and perhaps paranormal world of M.I.A. props.

It's a change of pace on The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of as David and Ryan class up the joint by sitting down with actual journalist and actual author Chris Nashawaty to discuss his brand new book The Future Was Now, which covers that brilliant 1982 genre summer and the eight science-fiction (and fantasy) masterpieces that came out of it. Especially Conan the Barbarian -- but also The Wrath of Khan, Blade Runner, The Thing, E.T., The Road Warrior, Tron, and Poltergeist. Join the guys as they reminisce about the good old days when movies like Blade Runner and The Thing opened on the same day and people still found a way to complain about the state of movies. Remember movies? Don't worry -- there's still plenty of prop talk.

It's a guest-free episode of the Stuff Dreams Are Made Of as David and Ryan discuss what can be one of the most difficult topics for collectors: how to go about slimming down your collection. Collectors spend so much time agonizing about finding and winning this stuff that it can be hard to let go. To help, the guys discuss their individual philosophies on how to know when it's time to move stuff on, how to choose what you're moving on, and maybe how to prevent from ending up with too much stuff in the first place. This episode is brought to you by whisky and monkey radiator caps.

On a very special episode of The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of, we have one of the producers from House of the Dragon AND the props lady from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul -- and they're the same person! David and Ryan welcome Trina Siopy to the podcast to tell her story of how she climbed the film ladder. From falling out of trucks as a stunt woman to cooking (fake) meth for Breaking Bad to being an on-set producer on House of the Dragon, you're in for quite a tale. And yes, she kept stuff!

Another auction has come and gone, so it's time for David and Ryan to do some Monday-morning quarterbacking.

Did David win the Biker Scout? Does Ryan need to build an addition on his house to display a flying 6-foot logo? Subscribe, download, and listen to find out!

Your favorite props podcast has made it to its landmark 100th episode and the guys are still married. We think.

Join the guys for a free-wheeling episode that covers everything from the Heritage Auction postmortem to San Diego Comic Con to comic art collecting to Ralph Bakshi-inspired Hummels. Oh, and for the first time, your dashing co-hosts occupy the same space at the same time. Hopefully, it doesn't trigger a singularity that brings about the end of the univer--
