GIGANTIC-2003-This is an interesting documentary on the band THE MIGHT BE GIANTS but it won't mean much unless you're a fan (which I am).
Concert footage is shown (a couple of songs in their entirety) and the two Johns (Flansburgh & Linnell) talk about their music and each other. They seem to like playing together! Interviews with people who've worked them (including Joe Franklin and Frank Black) are also included. Scenes from their rarely seen (nowdays anyway) videos are also shown. Some time is wasted having well known fans (I guess...) like Andy Richter, Harry Shearer and Michael McKean recite TMBG lyrics. The late Illinois senator Paul Simon introduces the film making me think at first I had the wrong tape in!
Thanks for reading!
