For those looking for a Saturday night in with a side of conversation, TBS‘s Dinner and a Movie has you covered. On July 5, at 8 PM ET/PT, the show plans to feature a timeless hero in Superman: The Movie. It is the 1978 version, with Christopher Reeve taking the main role.
Hosted by Jason Biggs and Jenny Mollen, the setup for Dinner and a Movie aims for a relaxed, potluck-style evening. The husband-and-wife duo is known for their chemistry, and they bring their shared love for film and food to the small screen. They plan to talk about the movie, and a few guests are set to appear as well, including some faces from Food Network who will be sharing their cooking skills.
The film itself, Superman: The Movie, explores the origin of the Kryptonian hero, from his infancy as Kal-El, son of Jor-El, to his early days in Smallville. It then shifts to his life in Metropolis as reporter Clark Kent, his budding romance with Lois Lane, and his clashes with the villainous Lex Luthor. The movie has a big cast, including Marlon Brando, Gene Hackman, Margot Kidder, and Christopher Reeve.
It is a good pick for a movie night, fitting the tone of the show which tries to offer a lighthearted look at popular films. The idea is to combine behind-the-scenes information with casual chat and, of course, some good food.
Dinner and a Movie airs Saturday, July 5, at 8 PM ET/PT on TBS.
