Dinner and a Movie is an American cooking and entertainment television program aired on TBS from September 8, 1995 to 2011 and made its return since 2024.
The show was hosted by chef Claud Mann and comedian Paul Gilmartin throughout its run, as well as Annabelle Gurwitch from 1996–2002, Kent Osborne in 1998 before hosting its "Movie Lounge" spin-off, Lisa Kushell from 2002–2005 and Janet Varney from 2005 to the show's end in 2011.
Format
Each episode included a movie and the preparation of a creative dinner to go with its theme, generally via a pun. For example, an episode showing Drumline features a recipe titled "The Beets Go On", referencing the Sonny & Cher single "The Beat Goes On", as well as the plot of the movie about a drummer who tries to fit in with a new marching band. However, some episodes have special guests like Kelsey Grammer in showing of Stripes, Jerry Springer in showing of Dumb and Dumber, and Richard Petty in showing of Days of Thunder.
Cookbooks based on the block were released in 1996, 1999, and 2003.
Monkey-ed Movies debuted in production which were run during the block and in odd time slots after sporting events like a minor golf tournament a day then, the station played about half an hour to unexpected results. The ratings actually increased, which prompted 13 episodes of an expanded half-hour series which would become The Chimp Channel.
The show's cancellation was announced by Gilmartin on the May 6 edition of his podcast, The Mental Illness Happy Hour.
Revival
On May 17, 2023, Kathleen Finch, Chairman and Chief Content Officer of Warner Bros. Discovery’s U.S. Networks Group, announced that it would revive the block during the company’s upfront presentation in New York City.
On May 17, 2024, it was announced that Jason Biggs and his wife Jenny Mollen were chosen as hosts, and that the revival would debut on June 1 with the premiere of Aquaman. There are no recipes like in the original format.
