Come for Rachel and Ayo in a gay fight club, stay for Seligman's absurdist world-building and non-stop visual gags.
This generation's Mean Girls, But I'm a Cheerleader, and Scott Pilgrim all rolled into one.
A killer aesthetic that splits the difference between Grungy 70s Exploitation flick and neon-drenched 80s Vaporwave elevates They Cloned Tyrone head and shoulders above other Netflix Original Film releases.
The central social satire is a little less focused than I would have preferred, and the pacing of the film's middle section could use a bit of a trim, but the terrific trio of lead performances ensure that you will enjoy it the whole way through.

More of that gonzo action, and less digitally stitched oners, please.
