The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of

From Kane’s Rosebud to Indy’s Whip to Captain America’s shield... Iconic treasures from the world of film and television are centerstage in this podcast hosted by collectors David Mandel (Veep, Curb Your Enthusiasm) and Ryan Condal (Colony, House of the Dragon). Every week, the two writers share their love of Hollywood memorabilia, revealing unbelievable stories around some of the most famous and culturally important props, costumes, art, and ephemera in silver screen history.

  1. The Ruby Slippers: Definitely Real Rubies

    3 DAYS AGO

    The Ruby Slippers: Definitely Real Rubies

    David and Ryan are, along with the rest of the world, gobsmacked by the result of Heritage Auctions' ruby slippers sale. They break that down along with the rest of the wild and wacky 2024 for this year-ending, season-ending episode of the podcast. Join the guys they talk about the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future on this round-up episode of the podcast and are joined by a super special guest (and fellow, budding TikTok legend) to talk about the fifteen minutes of prop bidding heard round the world. It's the last episode until 2025, so pour yourself some eggnog and tuck in to another evening with your favorite prop nerds!

  2. Collectors vs. Dealers

    DEC 11

    Collectors vs. Dealers

    On a guest-free (and auction-catalog-free!) episode of The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of, David and Ryan delve into a sticky topic: what separates the collector from the dealer.  In a hobby where many dealers also collect, the delineation can be fuzzy — and therein lies the problem. Drawing from their long experience navigating these murky waters, the guys provide their opinion on why this distinction is so important and why (they believe, at least), it is absolute.

    But it wasn't a dream. It was a place! And you, and you, and you, and you were there! Buckle your seatbelts Auntie ‘Em as David and Ryan take you through the entire Heritage Auctions Hollywood Entertainment Auction featuring the ruby slippers of Oz. Along with special guest Heritage's Brian Chanes who answers questions from the live audience, the boys drool over King Kong gas bombs, Mario Puzo’s own version of the Coppola Godfather notebook, the original hero Jumanji game board, and the Wicked Witch’s hat. Plus, hear all about the infamous ruby slippers robbery, and learn once and for all that the slippers are one hundred percent actually covered in real rubies. Or are they?

  4. Bill Hunt of the Digital Bits - First Blood, Part 2

    NOV 27

    Bill Hunt of the Digital Bits - First Blood, Part 2

    David and Ryan begin part two of their killer discussion with Bill Hunt by reviewing the results of the recent Propstore auction and Heritage's Power Rangers auction. They then invite Bill back on to finish the discussion about all things 4K, including the recent controversial James Cameron transfers and their weird AI process, and they then ask Bill about the holy grail of all home video collectors: the original, un-fuc, we mean un-altered, Star Wars trilogy. Bill then talks about his own obsession as a world-renowned collector of authentic space mission patches! Part 2 is 4K the fun!

  5. The Digital Bits’ Bill Hunt (Part 1)

    NOV 20

    The Digital Bits’ Bill Hunt (Part 1)

    On a very special episode of your favorite props podcast (meaning: no auction coverage; you’re welcome), David and Ryan are joined by the editor-in-chief of the singular physical media resource, The Digital Bits. Bill and The Bits have covered home theater and physical media since the dawn of the DVD era almost 30 years ago. He chats with the guys about the 4K format, where it’s been and where it’s going, those weird James Cameron remasters and of course, collecting physical media. It was such a good discussion, we had to break it into two parts!

  7. It's Alive! The Propstore Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction - November 14-17

    NOV 13

    It's Alive! The Propstore Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction - November 14-17

    David and Ryan have a lively one for you that begins with Ryan ranting about the state of collectors and collecting (what else is new). Dave then distracts him with the auction at hand, and the guys highlight the great stuff you may have missed from days 2 and 3 of the auction before covering their patented "categories" discussion, highlighting the props that they wish they were sophisticated enough to buy, what they won't be buying, what they should be buying, and maybe what they will be buying come auction day. They of course also call out the things that their wives would love them for buying, divorce them for buying, and what their kids would want. And it wouldn't be an auction episode without discussing the worst Prometheus props. Do I hear $100,000? You can also watch this episode on YouTube where we have the catalog on screen as we call out each lot!
