Blacktober continues with the sci-fi mystery thriller “They Cloned Tyrone” on Netflix, a film that arguably qualifies as horror fare.
SHOW NOTES FROM YOUR HOST DONNA:
On this episode, I am continuing my Blacktober series by discussing the Juel Taylor-directed They Cloned Tyrone (2023).
Although it is listed as a sci-fi, comedy, and mystery film, there are lots of horrific things afoot in The Glen. You’ll find government conspiracies, clones, and an unusual trio of heroes in this one. Come with me in the hidden elevator to check out all the behind-the-scenes inner inner-workings.
FYI, I was dealing with a head cold when I recorded this, so excuse my occasional sniffling.
