In The Mailbag: Tyler from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada asks” First I just wanted to say that I've been loving this daily podcast! I'm often too busy to catch all of the informative articles on slashfilm.com so it's really great to listen to a roundup of the latest film news as I'm working, driving, cooking etc.  As you've recently discussed, Force Friday II has just passed and I was lucky enough to grab some cool exclusives for my ever-growing Star Wars collection. My question for the mailbag is: What are some of your favorite things to collect? Figures? Artwork? Movie ticket stubs?  Thanks for your time and keep up the great work!  P.s. Will we ever get to know why Brad Oman has multiple names? This mystery intrigues me!”
