Cahuenga Pass is where a California governor got part of his face ripped off, where 10 people died because of cursed treasure, where the Egyptians allegedly buried a god’s penis, and that’s just the beginning!

Today we’re bringing you an episode about place, myth, people, history, and inaccuracy. The place we’re exploring is as intrinsic to Hollywood history as any film studio and it's a location traveled by millions every day as they cross to and from the San Fernando Valley.
