LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The exciting Netflix release of the conspiracy film 'They Cloned Tyrone' is just around the corner now. The film follows a trio who unpacks the horrifying secrets about an experiment conducted on an entire town kept hidden by government-affiliated people ranging from politicians to scientists.
