kinda fun.

among other things, I own the complete pool table set used in the Django unchained film (pool table, cues, rack, and the 9 ball), as well as a backup skull for the epic scene where Leonardo DiCaprio uses a saw to cut the skull of “Old Ben” to demonstrate the unique attributes of the “negro”.

I also have wardrobe worn by Kate Hudson, Penelope Cruz, and other stars.

it’s a rabbit hole, for sure.
I had 2 of the squash racquets used in a scene on the very short lived, Geico-commercial spinoff "Cavemen". I got a kick out of the prop dept. camouflage as to cover the brand names. Alas, they met the same end as all my squash racquet eventually. Should have saved one though.
