		For Filmmaker, Jeremiah Kipp interviews AJ Schnack, director of Gigantic: A Tale of Two Johns, the two Johns being, of course, Linnell ("the introspective one") and Flansburgh ("the showy one"), which is to say, They Might Be Giants.
		Peter Hames, author of The Czechoslovak New Wave and editor of Dark Alchemy: The Films of Jan Svankmajer, recently attended the 16th Finále Festival of Czech Film, an event that blends new work with films from "Czech cinema's most turbulent decade," the 60s.

		While the audio-only release is considered to be They Might Be Giants eleventh studio album, some of the songs make little sense without their visual accompaniment.
		For guest vocals on a few tracks, they turned to family: John Flansburgh's wife Robin Goldwasser, and John Linnell's son Henry.

	They Might Be Giants - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The making of that album, including a record signing event at a Manhattan Tower Records, was included in a 2003 documentary directed by AJ Schnack titled Gigantic (A Tale of Two Johns).
		The title referred to the section of the record store where TMBG releases were often found as well as to the overall eclectic nature of the tracks.
		They did many live performances in New York, but when Linnell broke his wrist in a biking accident and Flansburgh's apartment was broken into and all his guitars were stolen, they set up the Dial-A-Song system with an answering machine hooked up to a tape of them playing popular songs.

	Gigantic: A Tale of Two Johns (2003): Reviews
		If you're not a fan of the band, or know what the so-called underground was like before punk broke, "Gigantic: A Tale of Two Johns" will baffle you as to the significance of John Flansburg and John Linnell.
		The film takes its own sweet time in stating their case about why the two Johns are worthy of a full-length film because director Al Schnack holds back the songs that belong in anybody's notion of an alternative rock canon for far too long.
		An absorbing and inspiring portrait of two musicians whose unerring sense of what's right -- both artistically and ethically -- has not just held them in good stead but driven their particular brand of success.

		Traveling across the country now is the rockumentary, GIGANTIC: A TALE OF TWO JOHNS.
		JF: We let people film us in a lot of different situations, and are essentially happy with the movie, but we had no editorial input or control, and we actually weren't allowed to see it until it was finished, so by the end it was a little nerve-racking.
		So much so, that an entire movie has been devoted to them.

		All right, you darling TMBG freaks in San Francisco: I'm meeting David, anna and some other peeps at the Castro for tonight's 19:00 showing of "Gigantic: A Tale of Two Johns".
		You know how songs just stick with you while you're on vacation, and listening to them later can immediately transport you to the best memories of that trip?
		While David has extensive experience with my spastic nature at TMBG concerts, the MSG does not, but he was quite amused by my excitement.

		I caught about 30 minutes of something called "Gigantic (A Tale of Two Johns)," which turned out to be a rather shallow and unremarkable documentary of quirk-rock geeks They Might Be Giants.
		There's presently no way of establishing exactly what Terri Schiavo's mental state was in the days and weeks leading up to her death, so there's no way of knowing whether removing her feed tube two weeks ago was truly the humane thing to do.
		Many of them were written by a bunch of dead people - mostly men - who, while undoubtedly brilliant, have seen their own relevance slip, regardless of what purists like Ms.

	IMDb user comments for Gigantic (A Tale of Two Johns) (2002)
		In addition to some terrific archival footage and music-video clips of the Johns, many of their current and former associates are on hand to help tell their story.
		The two bandmates -- wiry, floppy-haired singer-keyboardist-accordionist John Linnell and paunchy, bespectacled singer-guitarist John Flansburgh -- relate their entire history from their school days in Lincoln, Massachusetts in the 1970s to their late-'90s film and TV work after they got dropped by the Elektra label.
		The band is well-known for writing about subject matter that you don't normally expect to find in pop songs and working in a wide range of musical styles, and this film is often as clever and unpredictable as TMBG themselves.
