Two Grown Adults Prepare for the Greg Jein Auction Oct 11, 2023

Show notes

Everything is in the wrong order. The big stuff comes last and the small stuff comes first. What if we're too responsible, and we end up with nothing? Holy Batman props, Batman! Why is there another X-Wing? Did we wrong the prop gods? Everyone will have spent all their money on the TOS Trek stuff, right? Right? Dave already has a Stormtrooper from A New Hope. So what that this one is in perfect condition, complete, and a hero. Will having it change his sense of self worth? And do our children really need to eat? Like, every day? Houses are over-rated. Except that you need a place to put your cool stuff. Ryan's made it this long without a 2001 costume -- he won't suddenly burst into flames if he continue to not have one, will he? But what if he does? Khan!!!!! Consternation, stagnation, and indignation: this week on The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of.

Conan the Librarian Oct 04, 2023

Show notes

David and Ryan are joined by John Walsh, the author of "Conan the Barbarian: The Official Story of the Film", Titan publishing's brand new look at the making of the 1982 cult classic. John regales the guys with stories of trying to dig up new, old information, trying to get an audience with Arnold himself, why Dino DeLaurentis productions have so little behind the scenes photos -- and then, some exciting 4K news about everyone's favorite barbarian origin movie. Yes, of course, the guys ask about what props and costumes he learned about (or saw) during his research. What is best in life? To crush the underbidder, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of your financial adviser.

Email John your Amazon review of the book for a signed Conan the Barbarian book mark!

Swords of the Rings Sep 27, 2023

Show notes

In another coup for the podcast, David and Ryan are joined by Weta mastersmith Peter Lyon who fabricated all the swords for the greatest fantasy trilogy of our time. Peter takes the guys through his early days as a medieval reenactor and film fan in far-flung, pre-internet New Zealand and talks about making armor and swords for practical use, and then that inconceivable day when his phone rang he found the great Richard Taylor on the other end, changing the course of his life forever. There is only one Lord of the... Swords!

Greg Jein: Miniature Giant Sep 20, 2023

Show notes

David and Ryan have learned all there is to know about the Greg Jein collection (not that they'll stop talking about it anytime soon..) But who was Greg Jein: the man? To find out, they speak to two people who actually knew him: John Eaves, conceptual artist and model builder for Industrial Light and Magic, and Joe Maddalena, his friend and his "supplier of rare antiquities". Put your auction paddles down (just for a moment) and hear what surprised the guys so much about the Bigfoot of prop collecting.

The Greg Jein Collection, Part 3 Sep 14, 2023

Show notes

In this super-sized final installment, the guys complete their climb of the Everest that is the Greg Jein collection. Beginning with Star Trek: The Next Generation and going through Star Wars and beyond, the guys cover what is perhaps their most alluring part of the catalog... at least to David. They discuss everything "New Trek" from Picard to Voyager to the JJ-verse. Then, they stare at a monolithic (eh?) original Clavius Base spacesuit from 2001, more studio-scale models (!), and more shows from V to Battlestar to Space: 1999 to Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. And of course, two of the greatest Star Wars pieces to ever come to public auction: a complete, screen-matched hero stormtrooper and the screen-matched, hero "Red Leader" X-Wing. To discuss those, they are joined by Imperial Stormtrooper Gino Sabatino and studio-scale model builder and historian Jason Eaton!

The Greg Jein Collection, Part 2 Sep 12, 2023

Show notes

In part two of their enthralling catalog deep-dive trilogy, David and Ryan are re-joined by collector, friend of Greg Jein, and Trekspert Rob Klein to page through the beating heart of the collection: Kirk and Spock Star Trek. Beginning with the laser pistol from the original, un-aired pilot of Star Trek (The Cage!) and going all the way through Star Trek: Generations, listen as the guys go on a tour of the most staggering Trek collection ever held in private hands. There are more than 10 Kirks, 4 Spocks, shuttlecraft(s), phasers, tricorders, communicators, ears, hair pieces, tribbles -- [George Takei voice] "Oh my!"

The Greg Jein Collection, Part 1 Sep 08, 2023

Show notes

The internet’s favorite (and possibly only) movie props podcast returns for its sixth season with big news (!) from our new sponsor (!!) — the Greg Jein Collection is going under the hammer at Heritage Auctions on October 14 and 15 in Dallas. Over the next few episodes, David and Ryan will look to get to know Greg Jein by talking to the people who knew him as they go page-by-page through what has been long-considered one of the most mysterious and simultaneously legendary genre collections in movie-propdom. Spoiler: it does not disappoint. “Stuff” veteran Rob Klein joins the guys to talk about his friend Greg and to explore the first day of his bananas collection, beginning with postwar serials and going through all the wonderful toys of Adam West’s ‘66 Batman. So grab your wallets, ladies and gentlemen. It’s going to be a hell of an October.
