  • The 2025 State of the Podcast Address

    The 2025 State of the Podcast Address
    Apr 30 2025

    As another season comes to a close, David and Ryan address the murky future of the Stuff Dreams Are Made Of, get real about the economics of producing a podcast, and discuss the possible roads ahead. But it's not all serious--they still crack wise, make bad puns, and rant about minutiae as always. And they answer the real question on everyone's minds: what the hell did Ryan go and buy this time?

  • Deep Dive: The Han Solo Blaster

    Deep Dive: The Han Solo Blaster
    Apr 23 2025

    The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of is back with its second deep dive of the season, this one covering one of David's and Ryan's favorite movie weapons of all time: the Han Solo blaster. To fill in all the greeblies and nerdy details, the guys are joined by DL-44 expert, master builder, and gunsmith Scott Juarez from the RPF and the Star Wars fan community. They cover everything from the (in)famous A New Hope blaster to the "Greedo killer" to the MGC blasters of Empire to the stunts with a fascinating hero lineage to David's own "Stembridge blaster" and that weird hero from Jedi. In and amongst it all, the guys discuss the purported "only fully intact [Han Solo] blaster from the original film" recently offered for public sale... and why, maybe, it is no longer either a purported hero or offered for sale. Linda Richmond voice Discuss!

    The Questions Dreams are Made Of and Yacht Talk
    Apr 16 2025

    David and Ryan dump out the 'ole podcast mailbag and dive into myriad topics, including: collecting classic paperwork, acquiring Game of Thrones pieces, the intellectual sewer that is Reddit comments, yacht collectors and the yachts they love, disputed Stormtrooper lore, Troy clappers, a plea for more comic art talk, more propas (we made it a thing), and more podcast-listener-first-timer acquisitions! It's a veritable cornucopia of prop talk (and yacht talk). And -- finally -- Ryan gives a big, honkin' clue regarding his mystery acquisition.
