Frank’s Brain

“One thing you can’t take away… I am Iron Man.”

Kyle Olson and Rob Kubasko reach the first film in Phase 2 of the MCU: Iron Man 3, and they’re taking it apart five blue-beamed minutes at a time.

This week on Beer:30 Live!, the crew ditches Pete, to spite him for his long vacation. Joining Pete and Shane for a beer, Frank Bender sits down to talk about the recent discovery of a benign tumor resting close to his brain, and the process he and his family have gone through in recent weeks to deal with it. Rather than spoil the punchline, we’ll leave it at this: the choice was between a drill into his skull to dig out the tumor, or 201 individual lasers pointed into his head. He’ll let us know what he chose and whether he’ll be developing any super powers as a result this week on the show.
