I think if we had a recurring show where people reviewed an audio book, there is no reason why we couldn't have a show where someone did a movie review. Personally I don't think the movie being reviewed would have to be "free", but that's just my opinion. I think a review of free movies, low budget movies, big budget movies and all things in-between would be interesting. Hell I don't care if someone just wanted to review Netflix original movies only, I'd listen.
As for format, I guess that would be up to you. I would enjoy something round table like the book club, but this is your show idea. You are just checking with us to make sure that it would be something appropriate for HPR, and I say hell yeah. Go for it.
