'Chive Cast Blog Log Pod Episode 4 - Skye and Steve's Dave Mandel Explosion

In the wake of "Skye2K" and the loss of cursed 'Chive Cast 84, we rally to interview comedy writer, producer, and longtime Star Wars collector David Mandel (Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and currently show-running HBO's Veep) about his development as a collector and several significant moments in hobby history that were documented in never-aired episodes of his anarchistic and hilarious video game review show "Dave and Steve's Video Game Explosion" filmed at Celebration II in Indianapolis in 2002. You'll hear about "First 12" character photoart selling for $3,500 and the infamous "Rocket Fett choking incident" that unfolded at the Cloud City Collectibles booth. We also discuss David's experience partaking in Mark Hamill's Pop Culture Quest.
