New Patreon Tier? Would love your responses/feedback (Patreon)

Now that it's been three months with the current weekly schedule style I feel like I'm pretty comfortable with it and it seems to be working for everyone. With feeling good about where that's at I've been thinking about trying something new with a new tier level here that would potentially add a decent amount of stuff on top of everything else. There's a ton of movies I've been either wanting to watch or been holding off on watching so that I could possibly do a commentary/reaction for them but they either don't necessarily have mass appeal or aren't well known. For the most part, the 2 movies per week have been ones that I feel fit both of those categories so that people feel they're getting enough value out of their membership and have enough options that they'd like to watch along for. My thought is that I would create a tier above the 'full-length videos' tier that includes everything in that one but also would get a bunch of commentaries/reactions for all these other films that don't fit the mold. Here's some of my ideas for this:
- No set amount of films per week (some might have 3+ extra, some might have 1, depending on what kind of time I have or what I'm feeling)
- Since a lot of the films in this tier may also be movies you haven't seen, the commentary style might be switched up slightly so that I talk a bit less than usual so you wouldn't have to worry about missing anything if you're also watching for the first time (which I assume most people for the regular 2 per week films are re-watching)
- This, at least at the start, would be a limited tier, I'm thinking for the first month as a test I'd open it up to 20 people. Then after we see how it goes I can open it up more from there.
- If there is ever anything we check out that is particularly amazing or a lot more people want to watch along for it, it can be possibly added to the 'full-length video' tier some time afterwards, but you'd still be getting it first/early on this tier.
- This would be a more chill viewing tier, just to have fun going through films outside some of the bigger names but also as a possible testing ground for films for the regular 'full-length videos' tier.
There's a few things that could make this tier difficult though:
- Film availability. If it'd involve more obscure or less popular films they may not be readily available online. How tough is it for you all to watch along as it is with the current slate of films?
- Interest in a tier like this. Part of the reason I also wanted to limit it at the start is just to gauge interest and see if people would even be down for a more exploratory tier.
Let me know your thoughts about this and if you'd be potentially interested in trying it out for the month of May! There's a few days before May begins so I'm open to any comments or suggestions before then. (The tier would be $15, again including everything the $10 tier already gets with all the new films on top of that)
