August Movie Pick

Netflix's "They Cloned Tyrone" has us seeing double, triple, and even quadruple in the freaky conspiracy-theory film. John Boyega, Jamie Foxx, and Teyonah Parris star in the sci-fi comedy that uncovers a sinister cloning experiment happening right underneath their rundown, inner-city neighborhood, The Glen.

The ensemble cast definitely channeled new personas in the film. Parris calls Yo-Yo "a firecracker with deep ambitions and integrity, and a huge heart and love for those around her in her community." Boyega, meanwhile, has a different description for his protagonist, Fontaine: "He's kind of a baby experiencing life for the first time and then defining it for himself," he says.

While the bulk of the movie focuses on the trio finding out how clones are being made under their noses, the climax and conclusion reveal why the nefarious study is even happening in the first place.
