This week, Nate and Milo are discussing the 2005 film Green Street Hooligans, in which an American played by Elijah Wood goes to Britain and gets inducted into a football firm, learning a lot about himself along the way. Is it a good movie? No. But does it accurately portray football hooliganism? Also no.

Not listened yet, but I already know it's gonna be good! 😁

unexpected 30 secs of Riley on the Square Mile

In fairness to the bit about them calling Birmingham fans Zulu's, the Birmingham firm is called the Zulu Warriors

A sudden absence of bees

Love this, you guys will never run out of content in that cursed crumbling country

Karl J

Yeah, the Zulu part wasn't racist, that's the name of Birmingham's hooligan crew.

Joseph Gross

Maybe the writers were vaguely aware of Liverpool fans hating The Sun and extrapolated it to football fans hating all journalists

Ignatius

you probably wouldn't get enough content out of it due to it not being deranged, but as a counterpoint to this i'd love to get your thoughts on 'The Firm' starring Gary Oldman. very different, disturbing take on football firms

I watched this movie after I got my ass kicked by football hooligans, in an attempt to understand their way of life.

My brother was obsessed with this movie 12 years ago, back when he wanted to be a footballer

This was a big college movie for my friends and I along with Snatch and Lock Stock & 2 Smoking Barrels, excited to hear the episode.

Love Riley just popping in randomly xD

I'm already addicted to Britainology. I remember being very annoyed with a friend because he came back from Blockbusters with Green Street, and then wondering if I'd absent mindedly taken a hit on the bong at the end - like after 2001 (which I was stoned for). Bill Buford, a nice American who edited Granta, took up football hooliganism and wrote a book about it, which I expect you already know. I remember it being a very enjoyable read. Thank you💜💜xx (and one for Riley💜x)

It just occurred to me what would make a great episode: the hilariously cringe thriller, Donkey Punch. Make it happen, guys! Ha ha

JARITA

Is down with the sickness playing in the fight scene?!
