  Episode 227 - Untold - Raygun: Breaking Badly

  Sep 16, 20261h 5m

  When Australian academic Rachel "Raygun" Gunn took the floor at the 2024 Paris Olympics, her unconventional breaking routine made her an international meme almost overnight. Netflix's " Untold - Raygun: Breaking Badly," follows her rise, very public fall, and attempt to reclaim her story after the ridicule, misinformation, and conspiracy theories.  This week, we discuss the infamous kangaroo hop, how Raygun reached the Olympics, the brutal difference between criticism and mass humiliation, and whether this documentary genuinely changed our opinions or tried a little too hard to rewrite the routine.
