7-9 p.m. | Rudder Auditorium

Join MSC Aggie Cinema for a Howdy Week evening at the movies featuring Superman (2025). When tech-billionaire Lex Luthor frames the caped hero using a mutant clone, Superman has to team up with Lois Lane and a crew of rogue heroes to expose the corporate gaslighting and clear his name. Superman (2025) skips the tired origin story to drop you straight into a high-stakes, three-years-in sci-fi thriller where a young Clark Kent must balance a demanding day job with saving the world. A limited number of free t-shirts will be given to audience members first in line. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., film starts at 7 p.m.
