Watch gigantic (a tale of two johns) on SolarMovie. John Flansburgh & John Linnell met in the 1970s as junior high students in Lincoln, Massachusetts.

Filmed in 2001, ‘Gigantic (A Tale of Two Johns)’ is the acclaimed true story, tracing their independent and sometimes hilarious path through two decades in the pop music wilderness. From their legendary Dial-a-Song answering machine, to their Grammy Award-winning theme song for ‘Malcolm in the Middle’, fans and friends gather to tell the oral history of Brooklyn's finest alternative rock band.
