David and Ryan recap the March 2026 Propstore auction, their victories and defeats, what they observed about this strange day in collecting, what they sold, what they bought (!) — and then they discuss the year ahead and take a mutual oath of collecting celibacy… for now. /We admit that we are powerless over our collecting. We admit that life is unmanageable when we try to control it…/ 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.

It's a very special episode of The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of as David and Ryan are joined by the delightful Janet Snow who played "Assistant to Mr. Puzo" for arguably the greatest film of all time, The Godfather. Join us as Janet regales the guys with her well-recalled stories of that magical, bygone era when men were men, tuxedos were frilly, and Frank Sinatra was still a dick. Ms. Snow, the consignor of the famous Mario Puzo copy of the Godfather Notebook that sold through Heritage Auctions in 2025, talks about supporting both Copolla and Puzo, dealing with the studio, going to parties, making the famous notebooks, and yes -- she even tells that famous story about that fateful night at Chasen's when a certain legend took exception to a certain depiction of a certain singer in a certain movie about certain Italian-American men. Join us, but you bettah not be wearin' a wiyah.

After 44 (and when you reach the end of this one, 45) chock-full episodes, David and Ryan take stock of an eventful year of sales, ballooning growth in the hobby (and prices... and premiums...) and review both the Heritage December sale and the Propstore EMLA UK auction and all the resulting tea leaves regarding what lies ahead in 2026 and beyond.

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.

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!
