In an exclusive chat with Teyonah Parris and John Boyega, the stars of the new Netflix sci-fi mystery/comedy/thriller They Cloned Tyrone, the actors discuss the reasons they signed on for this Blaxploitation-inspired film that takes a skewed look at both the Black communal and individual experiences.
The film, which opens in select theaters today and begins streaming on Netflix on July 21 and co-stars Jamie Foxx, examines themes of groupthink and control wielded through products, foods, and entertainment that we all consume on a day-to-day basis without even thinking about it, feeding into some common conspiracy theories that have buzzed around colloquially for decades. We asked the duo: if the theories were real, what would take control of Black minds in real life?
They Cloned Tyrone is in select theaters across the nation now, and streams exclusively on Netflix starting July 21, 2023.
