Have you ever watched a good movie and started overthinking everything?
That was me while watching Netflix’s They Cloned Tyrone. Not only was it entertaining, but there were so many things to catch.
I rounded up 19 things (in no particular order) that might’ve gone over your head. Even if it didn’t, you might learn something new. So, walk with me!
1.
If you’ve never seen or heard of Hollow Man, this reference probably went over your head.
2.
Now, I could be making something out of nothing, but there was a tiny message behind these losing scratch-off cards.
3.
The subtle mention of gentrification.
4.
Fast food has a chokehold on poor communities.
5.
Music can control human emotions.
6.
Ah, the hip-hop to violence pipeline.
7.
The hood can, indeed, come together.
8.
Here’s the perm plague!
9.
Slick Charles consumed the powdery substance twice before the restaurant scene.

In Yo-Yo’s stack of Nancy Drew books, you can see one titled The Hidden Staircase.

Call Tyrone? More like they Cloned him. Erykah Badu changed her hit song lyrics up just a tad bit.
I’m sure there are a lot more messages in this film that social media users will talk about after multiple viewings. What hidden details from They Cloned Tyrone really stuck with you? Let me know in the comment section below!
