It's book club week on The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of! David and Ryan are joined by the prolific film book author Jay Glennie to discuss being the author-of-record for Quentin Tarantino himself. They discuss his previous (and upcoming) books, working for Q (Jay's words), and take an in-depth look at the first book in his one-a-year Tarantino series, the making of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Jay's okay, but the Hippies sure ain't!

David and Ryan get on the blower to cover the categories and days 2 and 3 of the Propstore auction, which kicks off today, December 5th! They cover their tried and true 'live show' categories including the little things they love that might fly beneath the radar as well as what they think the weirdest thing in the auction might be. And: what would their kids love? What would their wives hate? What would they buy for each other? What really /is/ the worst Prometheus prop? Plus, a guest listener joins the show to discuss his purchase of a replica costume that ended up being the real deal!

You can't spell Greg Nicotero without i-c-o-n. After years of idle talk and months of courting David and Ryan's annoying persistence has finally paid off - or Greg simply got too tired of being "busy" - or he took pity on this little collecting podcast. Either way, it's the coup of coups for The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of, and the guys carpe diem big time with genre the make-up SFX legend, co-founder of KNB FX, and mega-collector to learn all about what made him and what makes him tick. They talk Creepshow, Evil Dead, Jaws (and more Jaws), The Thing, and collecting, collecting, collecting! So throw on your best decaying skin suit and shamble on over for what is sure to be an episode for the ages!

Julien's Auctions has officially joined the podcast as a sponsor, and they are coming out of the gate with a biggie: The Jim Henson Company has raised the curtain on its first-ever auction to mark the 70th anniversary of the company. David and Ryan are here to share the juicy details with the two ladies who made it all happen: Lisa Henson, Jim's daughter and the CEO of The Jim Henson Company, and Karen Falk, its Archives Director. They chat with the guys about what it means to be in charge of the Company and its treasures, the history of the archives, and what brought about the decision, for the very first time, to open their vault doors to the fans. The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of will be there covering this historic event with the officious-ness of Sam Eagle. It's not easy... needing green...

David and Ryan wrap up Heritage Auctions' massively successful Kief Fromm and Stewart Berkowitz sales, discuss the observations and trends they are seeing in the tea leaves for the golden age of comics and of television, and then move on to the topic of the week: #PrivateDeals. The guys have joked a lot about the topic, but this episode is a serious (well, as serious as they get...) discussion about what constitutes a #PrivateDeal, how one goes about making a #PrivateDeal, conducting #PrivateDeals safely, and share a couple of examples of #PrivateDeals from their own storied collecting careers... all with special thanks to the moron who inspired this hashtag. #FakeStormbreakers Email: [email protected] SDAMO - Instagram https://www.instagram.com/propspodcast/ SDAMO - Bluesky https://bsky.app/profile/propspodcast.bsky.social SDAMO - Facebook https://www.facebook.com/propspodcast/ SDAMO - TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@props.podcast David Mandel - Instagram https://www.instagram.com/davidhmandel/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
