Hello, trash future listeners. The following is episode two of Britonology, a series in which

Milo explains to me why Britain is the way it is. In this episode, we review the 2005 film Green

Street Hooligans. Is it good? Well, it's complicated. However, if you want to hear more

Britonology, there are two more episodes on the Patreon

and another one coming out very shortly.

The link to sign up for more is available in the show notes.

Hope you enjoy, and welcome back to Rittenology.

We're joining you again for a second episode of looking into the peculiar psychosis of the British public.

I'm Milo Edwards and I'm joined as ever by Nate Bithay.

Hello, it's me. Welcome.

Thank you so much for listening once again.

Before we get into the plot summary, I just have to say that it's always hilarious to me to watch a film for American audiences that tries to depict modern Britain.

And while I realize this film, I think, does better than most in terms of not selling you the sort of like Dean Crumpets, Tweed, fucking Gentile Britain, it definitely doesn't hide the shittness of Britain.

There is so much going on in this film that I feel like we should just jump right into our summary of the 2005 Green Street, Hooligans, or Green Street.

I mean, the reason why I picked this film out was I felt like for the second episode of Britonology, it really like, it really, it really, it really behoved us to, um, make an examination of the extremely, the extremely peculiarly

British phenomenon of football hooliganism.

Like, they have football hooliganism in other countries, but there's, there's a particular

kind of football hooliganism that exists in Britain.

And I think it, it warrants a certain kind of analysis, especially because of the

kind of cultural weight that is taken on for some people, particularly in light of the recent

Black Lives Matter counter protest, which was of course done by the famous Democratic Football

Lads Alliance. I think it's, I think it's time for a deep dive.
