It's a change of pace on The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of as David and Ryan class up the joint by sitting down with actual journalist and actual author Chris Nashawaty to discuss his brand new book The Future Was Now, which covers that brilliant 1982 genre summer and the eight science-fiction (and fantasy) masterpieces that came out of it. Especially Conan the Barbarian -- but also The Wrath of Khan, Blade Runner, The Thing, E.T., The Road Warrior, Tron, and Poltergeist. Join the guys as they reminisce about the good old days when movies like Blade Runner and The Thing opened on the same day and people still found a way to complain about the state of movies. Remember movies? Don't worry -- there's still plenty of prop talk.

It's a guest-free episode of the Stuff Dreams Are Made Of as David and Ryan discuss what can be one of the most difficult topics for collectors: how to go about slimming down your collection. Collectors spend so much time agonizing about finding and winning this stuff that it can be hard to let go. To help, the guys discuss their individual philosophies on how to know when it's time to move stuff on, how to choose what you're moving on, and maybe how to prevent from ending up with too much stuff in the first place. This episode is brought to you by whisky and monkey radiator caps.

On a very special episode of The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of, we have one of the producers from House of the Dragon AND the props lady from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul -- and they're the same person! David and Ryan welcome Trina Siopy to the podcast to tell her story of how she climbed the film ladder. From falling out of trucks as a stunt woman to cooking (fake) meth for Breaking Bad to being an on-set producer on House of the Dragon, you're in for quite a tale. And yes, she kept stuff!
