Listen "Clone High (2002-2003)"
Episode Synopsis
Reel Deep Dive starts commenting on television with this episode, a discussion about an MTV cartoon that built up a significant cult audience after its cancellation. While the program did launch the careers of noted directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, it's still best-known for its intriguing concept involving a high school filled with teenage clones of historical figures.
Ryan and Rachel focus upon four episodes in Clone High's brief run. Throughout their breakdown, they chat about the program's lampooning of family sitcoms and teen movies, its deluge of history nerd jokes, its talent for stretching its limited budget to suit its storytelling, and the controversy surrounding how the show depicted Mahatma Gandhi. Ryan also teases Rachel about her terrible Kennedy impersonation despite the fact that his take is even worse.
This episode was recording several months before a Clone High revival was announced; this means that the section where Ryan and Rachel talk about the slim likelihood of a Clone High reboot has already become dated.
