Netflix’s Untold revisits Raygun’s viral Olympic meme with a new documentary

Netflix released Untold Raygun: Breaking Badly on 1 September 2026, revisiting Rachael Gunn‘s widely mocked breakdancing routine at the 2024 Paris Olympics, as the streamer’s returning Untold documentary strand rolls out worldwide, including in the UK.

TL;DR

• Untold Raygun: Breaking Badly premiered globally on Netflix on 1 September 2026, directed by Chapman Way and Maclain Way.
• The film revisits Gunn’s zero-point routine at Paris 2024 and the meme storm, harassment and conspiracy theories that followed.
• Early reviews are largely favourable, though the trailer also reignited some of the original mockery online.
• UK subscribers need Netflix’s ad-free Standard plan, now priced at £12.99 a month, to stream it without ads.

What the documentary covers

Gunn, a Sydney university lecturer and competitive breakdancer known as Raygun, competed for Australia at Place de la Concorde on 9 August 2024 and scored no points across three battles, according to Al Jazeera. Her routine, including a widely parodied kangaroo-hop move, went viral within hours.

The documentary opens with what one reviewer described as a love story between Gunn and her husband and coach, Samuel Free, before tracing how the performance turned her into “a global meme,” according to ABC News Australia. It also covers a now-deleted petition questioning her Olympic qualification, which the Australian Olympic Committee asked to have removed, per Al Jazeera’s reporting.

Gunn’s side of the story

In the film, Gunn says the backlash left her feeling “reduced to a viral meme,” according to Reality Tea. Speaking separately to CNN, she compared watching the fallout play out to a “slow-motion car crash.”

By November 2024, Gunn announced she was stepping back from elite competition, though she has stayed involved in Australia’s breaking scene, Al Jazeera reported at the time. The documentary’s closing stretch reveals she has since left her academic post, according to a recap published by Fiction Horizon, leaving her next career move open-ended.

Why revisit a two-year-old meme now

Untold Raygun: Breaking Badly is one of three films in the latest Untold batch, alongside profiles of NFL quarterback Vince Young and Mr T, which began rolling out on 25 August, according to Netflix’s own Tudum editorial site.

Not everyone welcomed the timing. When the trailer surfaced online, one commenter reacted, “I would prefer this to remain untold,” reviving some of the 2024 pile-on, per The New Daily. Early critical reception has been more sympathetic: a review from Ready Steady Cut called the film “surprisingly feel-good” and said it frames Gunn as likeable rather than a punchline, while Fiction Horizon’s recap noted early reviews have generally been favourable.

Streaming details for UK viewers

UK audiences can watch Untold Raygun: Breaking Badly now on Netflix. The ad-free Standard plan, Netflix’s most popular UK tier, currently costs £12.99 a month after a price rise earlier this year, according to PlanIntel.
