"f. L. I. C. K. S.": The Nnp/mmm Podcast

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' (as I / Jason Verney have been quietly hosting & producing the series without any announcement, and indeed has a dedicated YouTube channel already...!) it's one which will play a bigger part in my life AND my YouTube.com/JasonVerney channel. So, now, there are techincally 4 podcasts being hosted by Jason (ak me!;), and these are: 1. The Not So Korean Podcast 2. MBF: Micro-Budget Filmmakers  3. ChiangMai Chatter  4. F.L.I.C.K.S. [ this podcast you're listening to now ] We hope you enjoy what I - or perhaps "we" - have to say... The main part of the episode was recorded whilst in a recording space in Chiang M

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 recording space in Chiang Mai, Thailand.This episode, number 98 was recorded on 6th November 2025.An accompanying article can be found here, at http://www.MiniMiniMovie.com.  Video Version:  https://youtu.be/9mqQLgGdTjAOther podcasts by Jason Verney:(Note: In addition to any YouTube links, all these podcasts are available on your favourite music / audio / streaming platforms)The Not So Korean Podcasthttp://www.Linktree.com/NotSoKoreanPodcastThe Micro-Budget Filmmakers (MBF) Podcasthttps://www.youtube.com/@micro-budgetfilmmakersThis "F.

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 which have crossed paths with Irish culture and the country of Ireland itself.Subjects touched on in this episode include the area of Kilburn in London where our host once lived, Irish films admired, the great musicians and famous bands of Ireland & how perhaps Jason's first ever flight in his life took him to that Irish land and subsequently started a life of flights to countries further afield... including Korea, Thailand and other parts of Asia, which are now Jason Verney's areas of expertise, as a filmmaker, podcaster, activist and more.We hope you enjoy what we have to say...The main part of the episode was recor

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 documentary focuses on that time when the Vietnam war - or as some Vietnamese may have called it, "the American War or "the anti-American War OR the “War Against the Americans to Save the Nation” - was tragically happening.  In fact, they'll be one or two other "Verney's Vietnam" kind of videos appearing on my http://www.YouTube.com/JasonVe... channel.It's also recently been announced that a remastered version of the 90's docuseries, The Beatles Anthology will be coming to a certain platform soon... as well as music/reissues to accompany it.Subjects touched on in this episode all include how the documentary made me feel, h

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 Bristol... especialy the amazing & independent cinema, The Watershed.The main part of the episode was recorded whilst 'on the go', 'on the move' and therefore 'on the fly'.I hope you enjoy what I have to say...The bulk of episode 95 was recorded on 13th April 2025 in Bristol, England/UK.The accompanying article can be found on here, at my http://www.MiniMiniMovie.com website!Video Version:  https://youtu.be/LWpXisHEgWIOther podcasts by Jason Verney:(Note: In addition to any YouTube links, all these podcasts are available on your favourite music / audio / streaming platforms)The Not So Korean Podcasthttp://www.Linkt

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 my take on the film.In fact, seeing as some of the film takes place in a courtroom, I thought I'd be both JUDGE and DEFENDER of this unique sequel.I hope you enjoy what I have to say...Recorded on 23rd October 2024 in Busan, South Korea.The accompanying article can be found on here, at my http://www.MiniMiniMovie.com website!Other podcasts by Jason Verney:(Note: In addition to any YouTube links, all these podcasts are available on your favourite music / audio / streaming platforms)The Not So Korean Podcasthttp://www.Linktree.com/NotSoK...The Micro-Budget Filmmakers (MBF) Podcasthttps://www.youtube.com/@micro-budgetfilmma

In episode 92 of Jason Verney’s “F.L.I.C.K.S.” we take a look at the film, "It Ends With Us”.

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 between the Sea and the Sky or Space.Recorded on 11th July 2024 in Chiang Mai, Thailand.The accompanying article can be found on here, at my http://www.MiniMiniMovie.com website!____Other podcasts by Jason Verney:(Note: In addition to any YouTube links, all these podcasts are available on your favourite music / audio / streaming platforms)The Not So Korean Podcasthttp://www.Linktree.com/NotSoKoreanPodcastThe Micro-Budget Filmmakers (MBF) Podcasthttps://www.youtube.com/@micro-budgetfilmmakersThis "F.
