b"Frank was a 2014 black comedy directed by Lenny Abrahamson, which followed the journey of an aspiring singer-songwriter struggling with his own mediocrity and inability to write good songs, who soon finds himself among a experimental rock band that he hopes to break into America. The film starred Domnhall Gleeson, Maggie Gylenhaal, Scoot McNairy, and Michael Fassbender as the titular character; the eccentric frontman and musical genius of the Soronprfbs, who wears a papier-mache mask over his head at all times.

On a new episode of Hell Is A Musical, Lilz and Scott dig into Frank, which technically wasn't a musical, but was peppered with original experimental, psychedelic songs, and remains a mutual favorite of the two hosts. Join them as Lilz waxes nostalgic on her experiences as a local musician, Scott rolls his eyes at hipsters, and the two of them marvel at the storied career of Michael Fassbender putting things on his head.
