Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

They Cloned Tyrone (2023)

A dealer goes to collect money he's owed from a pimp and gets shot to death. When he (somehow) wakes up the next morning and goes again to collect that money, the pimp is understandably freaked out. Soon those two and Yo-Yo the ho are trying to figure out what, exactly is going on. And what they find out is absolutely nuts.

The completely original and utterly bonkers script would've probably been fine with any cast, but I can't imagine any trio bringing this to such vibrant life in the same way John Boyega, Jamie Foxx, and Teyonah Parris manage. Foxx and Parris kept sending me into giggle fits -- I mean that scene in the elevator when they were using their pistols as microphones? Perfection.
