<![CDATA[The Filmward Podcast]]>Jeff and Matt Ward are brothers who love movies but watch them very differently. Jeff keeps up with new releases, while Matt keeps going back to the films he's loved for decades. Each week on Filmward they meet in the middle: a look at what's new, a revisit of a classic to see if it's still as good as they remember, a top-five list built around a director, actor, or franchise, and a quick rundown of what's safe for family movie night. Five-star ratings and honest opinions. Just two brothers discussing movies the way they always have.
