And finally today, recent guest appearance on TV show runners David Mandel (VEEP, Seinfeld) and Ryan Condal’s (House of the Dragon) excellent The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of podcast is now live on YouTube! You can watch it here (it’s also it’s also available for your listening pleasure everywhere you find your favorite podcasts online.)

This is a show that’s primarily about movie and TV prop collecting, but the interesting thing is that movies on physical media are a critical part of that hobby—particularly 4K Ultra HD, as its greater resolution often allows for screen-used props to be authenticated to the scene they were used in. David and Ryan are great guys and we had a blast talking movie discs, the 4K format, prop collecting (and collecting in general) and more. We actually talked for so long that my appearance has been broken up into two episodes, so this is simply Part 1. So anyway, I think you guys will find the episode a lot of fun, so I hope you all enjoy it.

That’s all for now! Stay tuned…
