Summary

Allan and Rachel Bloom (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Stop That Train!) embark on an unexpectedly perilous journey to an iconic L.A. ruin, the Old Zoo in Griffith Park. Along the way, they discuss self-guided tragic history tours, “converted spaces” and the importance of “place” in Rachel’s work, and Rachel & Allan literally lose themselves in nature.
