Classic Movies Live – Season 4, Episode 30: They Cloned Tyrone
August 16, 2023
This week on Classic Movies Live!, we’re talking about a Netflix Original!
From first-time director Juel Taylor, They Cloned Tyrone stars John Boyega, Teyonah Paris, and Jamie Foxx as three friends who uncover a vast cloning conspiracy below their town. But if that sounds strange, buckle up because that’s hardly the half of it!
Reminiscent of blaxploitation films of the 70s and 80s, as well as weird modern sci-fi hits like Sorry To Bother You, Taylor’s debut is certainly one of the most original movies ever to premiere as a Netflix Original. Is it also one of the best?
