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

Jason Verney

"F. L. I. C. K. S." is a podcast by filmmaker and journalist Jason Verney, in collaboration with his production company, NativeNomadPictures.com (NNP) and his movies & music website, MiniMiniMovie.com (MMM), and stands for: Films Life Interviews Camera Korea Sounds 'FLICKS' SERIES DESCRIPTION: An Odd Plod, Nod & Pod to "NO-MADe-land"... This podcast can be seen as an apology perhaps, to those who may be awaiting the yet to be completed South Korean documentary by Mr Verney. Jason talks about various aspects of Korea, the Korean culture, movies (both Korean and international), music, life, travelling & more. Like the #KDOC14 documentary project itself, this too is a work in progress. Over time it will evolve... be this in format or from an audio to a visual podcast. Note: "F. L. I. C. K. S." is the new name for what was known as "Jason Verney's PLODCAST". Previous potential comic titles for this podcast were Prodcast*, Probcast** and Oddcast*** but the original name of "Plodcast" was used. * To represent 'still in Production' ** For either 'Problematic' or 'Probably' *** Simply because it's all kind of 'Odd' PLODCAST, although probably in existent by other broadcasters, was thought most apt... Not so much due to the fact that the podcast itself is slow, plodding or boring (well, you can be the judge of that!) but indicating that the Korean documentary, and other filmic projects are slowly, but surely on their way! "F. L. I. C. K. S." was more recently thought of a more memorable and relevant name & not only indicates that it's related to movies but also spells out what else it covers: Films; Life; Interviews; Camera; Korea; Sounds. Jason Verney is an independent filmmaker and journalist, whose websites (and company/ies) include Native Nomad Pictures Limited and MiniMiniMovie.com & is also proud co-founder of the London Asian Film Society.

    EP. 99: 🇹🇭Thailand's NEW Burning Season? (+🎙️Jason's NEW Podcast Season/Series)

    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 Mai, Thailand on 16th December 2025.

    "FLICKS" Ep 97: "Irish Film Festival 2025" (Thailand/Chiang Mai/Bangkok)

    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 recorded whilst in a recording space in Chiang Mai, Thailand. This episode, number 97 was recorded on 10th November 2025, just hours after the 3-day Irish Film Festival ended.

  4. "FLICKS" Ep 96: "One to One: John & Yoko"  - My Tears, His Years... I'm All Ears...

    "FLICKS" Ep 96: "One to One: John & Yoko" - My Tears, His Years... I'm All Ears...

    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, how others expressed emotion, The Watershed venue in Bristol and comparisons to making my very own feature documentary [about the South Korea disaster of the Sewol Ferry) 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... This episode, number 96 was recorded on 26th April 2025 in Bristol, England/UK. The accompanying article can be found on here, at myhttp://www.MiniMiniMovie.com.  Also found on that site of mine are two posts/reviews from years ago of other Kevin Macdonald films: https://miniminimovie.com/2011/05/15/life-in-a-day-or-from-my-workplace-to-wordpress-to-the-worldpeople/ https://miniminimovie.com/2011/04/22/the-eagle-or-the-last-bling-of-scotland/ Video Version:  https://youtu.be/LWpXisHEgWI 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 Podcast http://www.Linktree.com/NotSoKoreanPodcast The Micro-Budget Filmmakers (MBF) Podcast https://www.youtube.com/@micro-budgetfilmmakers This "F.

    F.L.I.C.K.S. EP 95: "Mickey 17 & 'his' Movies - A Mini, Meandering, Meaningless Review & More!"

    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...

    FLICKS Ep. 94 - A Judge Reviews "JOKER: Folie Á Deux" ('In Defence Of Joker 2'...)

    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!
