Jason Verney's "F. L. I. C. K. S. (Film, Life, Interview, Camera, Korea & Sounds)" PODCAST

I 'eventually' get to the point and reason for this 'rambling' episode but seriously, could certain China cities replace UAE ones and therefore flights using Beijing, Shanghai hubs increase as a result of recent world events? Well, this British individual - someone who flies from the UK to Thailand, South Korea and elsehere - looks at this possibility whilst perhaps subtly asking certain people in...

In this particular episode [a 'special spontaneous' and simultaneous CROSSOVER & 'Bouncing Spring Bonus' episode between my " F.L.I.C.K.S. " podcast series and our " Not So Korean Podcast "], I speak 'LIVE' from the grounds of the Jeonbuk National University (JBNU) and from the Jeonju International Film Festival 2026 (JIFF 2026) in Jeonju, South Korea. The show is somewhat split into two parts...

In episode 99 of Jason Verney’s “F.L.I.C.K.S.”, it's ANNOUNCED that there is a new podcast which Jason hosts, and this time it's one relating to Thailand or perhaps more specifically a certain well-known city in that country... but what is it?   Well, when we tell you the name of the series title, you'll know where this is.   Yes... It's called "Chiang-mai Chatter" and although it's not 'brand new...

In episode 98 of Jason Verney’s “F.L.I.C.K.S.” we look at films, filmmaking and why people may see films multiple times... even in the cinema.  Jason Verney uses the latest movie by director Paul Thomas Anderson, "One Battle After Another" as an example but touches on other films and experiences too. We hope you enjoy what we have to say... The main part of the episode was recorded whilst in a rec...

In episode 97 of Jason Verney’s “F.L.I.C.K.S.” we present a kind of 'overview' of the recent Irish Film Festival (2025) in Thailand, and again come to you from Chiang Mai. Although this review and little overview speaks about - and indeed praises - the Irish Fiklm Festival, which takes part in bioth Bangkok and Chiang Mai, podcast host Jason Verney also speaks about things in his life journey whic...

In episode 96 of Jason Verney’s “F.L.I.C.K.S.” we present a kind of 'on the go' episode, of which the bulk of it focuses on the recent documentary film by Kevin Macdonald, "One to One: John &; Yoko".   Although this rambling review (& more!) was recorded in Bristol (UK) in Spring 2025, it seemed apt to put it out now whilst I'm visiting Vietnam - not least because the John & Yoko docum...

In episode 95 of Jason Verney’s “F.L.I.C.K.S.” we take a look at the Bong Joon-ho film, "Mickey 17" which I recently  witnessed twice in the UK. Subjects touched on, which all vaguely revolve around "Mickey 17" include meeting Bong Joon-ho, his previous film projects, how this one has been perhaps 'dumbed-down' or Americanised [a little like Bong Joon-ho's "Snowpiercer" and "Okja"] and venues in B...

In episode 94 of Jason Verney’s “F.L.I.C.K.S.” we take a look at the film, "Joker: Folie à Deux" which I witnessed in Busan, South Korea. There has been so much negativity towards this sequel to "Joker" and from quite a lot of people. Well, I decided that, as a writer and filmmakermyself - and fresh from my recent position as judge at the inaugural  SWFF (Seoul Whistler Film Festival) - I'd give m...

In episode 93 of Jason Verney’s “F.L.I.C.K.S.” we take a look at the Thai film, "The Paradise Of Thorns (วิมานหนาม)”. Continuing on from reviewing current or recent films - and those include 3 films from Thailand - this one gives an overview of the film, whilst trying to be a mostly spoiler-free review.   Recorded on 25th September 2024 in Chiang Mai, Thailand. An accompanying article can be found...

In episode 92 of Jason Verney’s “F.L.I.C.K.S.” we take a look at the film, "It Ends With Us”. It wasn’t an easy task with a film containing such a delicate subject matter as abuse, but Jason does his best. Recorded on 23rd August 2024 in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The accompanying article can be found on here, at my http://http ://www. MiniMiniMovie.com website! Other podcasts by Jason Verney: (Note: I...

In this episode, we take a look at the film, " Pha Dam Kham Ai: A Cinderella Story" (ผาดำคำไอ่ ซินเดอเรลล่าสตอรี่) , a special re-telling of the classic tale, with a North-East Thailand take. Jason reviews this funny fairytale whilst also commenting on the region of Thailand, stating a couple of interesting facts whilst giving his unique review of this Thai regional movie, surely one which would d...

In this episode, the Thai 'space film' drama, "Uranus 2324" is reviewed.  It's a strange mix of genres but in many ways it works, by bringing it all back to relationships - in particular, one between our two central characters, Kath (played by British-Thai actress Rebecca Patricia 'Becky' Armstrong & Lin (played by Freen Sarocha Chankimha) - and back 'down to earth', the ground being the part...

In this episode, we bring you a little review of the Thai documentary film, "Breaking The Cycle" (OR "อำนาจ ศรัทธา อนาคต" / "Power, Faith, Future") about Thanathorn and the Future Foward Party, expertly made by directors Aekaphong Saransate and Thankrit Duangmaneeporn. Recorded on 19th June 2024 in Chiang Mai, Thailand. From the accompanying article on my http:// www. MiniMiniMovie.com website: “M...
