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…/

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.

It's auction week, baby! Join David and Ryan LIVE (or after the fact for those of you who aren't insane) to experience the March 2026 Propstore sale and all the things the guys are bidding on, not bidding on, should be bidding on, or are selling so they can bid on other things, or pay off their large Propstore debts. It's categories time! Which Mel Gibson prop is Dave going to talk about this time? And what /is/ the worst Prometheus prop?

The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of is back, David and Ryan are back, and so is their banter about collecting and collections. They talk about what's been up since December, what they have their minds on this year (besides warfighting), and what they're excited about coming down the pike. Ryan also gives the HOTD update we promised last week but never delivered on. It's chock full of auction talk, yacht talk, #PrivateDeal talk and, of course, #Fakes talk!

The boys are back, ready to buy props and chew bubblegum -- and they're all out of bubblegum. David and Ryan dive into this brand-spanking-new season with a catalog episode, this one covering Propstore's March 25-27 Los Angeles auction. We've got HOTD updates and storage facility updates as well as all of the guys' Favorite Things from Day 1 of the auction, with everything from Black Panther helmets to the finest Terminator jacket ever to come to market. There are C-3P0 heads, shark-killing spearguns and shark-catching fishing rods, golden tickets, Ryan's very own dazzling clapperboard collection, an incredible Frank Frazetta painting, Val Kilmer licenses, Last Boyscout props for Dave, and of course... the anal-birthing savanna beast from Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls. Kinda hot in these rhinos!

That's a wrap on podcasting in 2025. 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. The guys are also joined briefly by Gary Kurtz's daughters Tiffany and Melissa to talk about their uber sale of Tom Jung's original Star Wars half-sheet art before pulling the veil back on Ryan's mystery mega 2025 acquisition. So fix yourself a smoky whisky or hot cocoa and tuck in for the final episode of this eventful year.

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!
