In this 'on the fly' episode, I speak about the brand new film festival which recently 'landed' in the city of Bristol, UK, and that is the BDFF... the Britsol Documentary Film Festival... which although my attendance was relatively brief, I really got a feel for its spirit, the hearts of those involved and the creative community & indeed venues it revolved around.   Sometimes in such episodes I move from topic to sucject and neglect to mention specifics... and on that subject, I want to personally give a huge shout out, thanks and a "well done" to a certain Nicholas Jones, whom is essentially behind this wonderful new film festival! Recorded on 9th September, 2026 (in Bristol, UK).

We recently lost a legend... Glen Hansard, a musician and all-round down-to-earth charitable human being... and although I never met Glen, I did see him play live in concert and whose music has been with me for a couple of decades in life, love, pain, my stories, my film creations, travels and more. I was going to record something immediately but perhaps really I needed to process or digest what had happened & how his relatively young life suddenly ended.  His music, and so many facets of his life will continue... as 'The Gift' to us all. If you've stumbled upon this episode or series due to my Korean connections or affinity, you'll notice that by the end of the episode I've mentioned 2 or 3 things which relate in some way to South Korea.  Sadness, sorrow or "한"...?  Some would say that Han is Hard... and thank you for everything, Mr Glen Hansard.

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 various countries to reduce their 'hating' on China... http://www.MiniMiniMovie.com  http://www.YouTube.com/JasonVerney https://miniminimovie.com/tag/jeonju/ MMM Jeonju articles  http://www.Linktree.com/NotSoKoreanPodcast https://filmfreeway.com/SEWOLSealedEternallyWithOurLove http://www.JasonVerney.com Episode recorded on 26th June, 2026 in Bristol, U.K. This "F.

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 and covers both the festival in general & my experiences with JIFF in the past, but also a large part is about the first 24 hours or so of this 2026 edition of the festival. I speak about arriving in Jeonju and JIFF itself, the film strand relating to the late Ahn Sung-ki, meeting LEE Myung-se again, Greta LEE, my recent Sewol Ferry feature documentary (S.E.W.O.L. - Sealed Eternally With Our Love), the city of Jeonju itself, my recent car/bus accident, Jeonju accomodation and more.   http://www.MiniMiniMovie.com  http://www.YouTube.com/JasonVerney https://miniminimovie.com/tag/jeonju/ MMM Jeonju articles  http://www.Linktree.com/NotSoKoreanPodcast https://filmfreeway.com/SEWOLSealedEternallyWithOurLove http://www.JasonVerney.com Episode recorded on 1st May, 2026 in Jeonju, South Korea.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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...

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.

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.

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 delight many Thais, Laotians & residents of the Isaan (or Isan / อีสาน). Overall, a Righteous Review of a Romantic & Rather Racy Film! Recorded on 11th August 2024 in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

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.

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: “Mr Mini Mini (aka me [Jason Verney]) was so glad to have caught this insightful and well-made Thai documentary feature film in a Chiang Mai cinema, and just before it finishes its current run here in the Kingdom of Thailand. Whether you're aware of the current Move Forward Party in Thailand or more specifically, the previous incarnation known as Future Forward Party & its leader, Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit - which this documentary mainly focuses on - or are simply interested in world politics, related movements OR hope in general, this film is not to be missed. Before I hand you over to 'myself' (via a podcast episode of the F.L.I.C.K.S. series*), I'll fill you in a little bit concerning why this movie was on my radar. Some readers and friends will know that I'm not only a big advocate for many aspects of Korean culture, interested in its history but also current and past Korean issues etc but what they may not know is that if it wasn't for my first ever visit to Asia & in fact Thailand more than a decade and a half ago, I may never have got into Korean film and indeed Asian cinema, as well as certain areas of politics, casues or issues at all. There is also a Korean connection with this documentary. Sure, I've attended a few Korean film festivals before (including a couple, solely due to the festival release & premieres of my own recent film, “Reparation'” - an English and Korean, dual language drama) and one I've known about for a long time is the esteemed DMZ Docs festival. Well, the DMZ Docs guys were one of those with backing, input and production for this project. In fact, even if I hadn't read something about this prior to the film screening itself, I would have seen the credits and the various Korean names amongst all the many people listed. Then there's the Sheffield DocFest, a hugely well-known film festival in my home country of the UK. Not only this, but how surreal to see that it was playing in Sheffield around the same time that I got to witness it in Thailand... AND maybe more poignant that there is a big election approaching in the UK. Yes, this film could not just be timely for millions of Thai people but for this humble writer, filmmaker, podcaster and activist. For me, being in this amazing country of Thailand and seeing this movie with Thai people (and others), it meant so much to me and even brought me to tears at certain points. I'm easily moved or emotional, especially when there's hope for individuals living in a country I hugely admire. So... without wasting any more of your precious reading time, I'll let you listen to my little overview/review of this film, "Breaking The Cycle". ____ 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.
