Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse - 28 Easter Eggs & References Explained
28. Clone High
MTV
Before The Lego Movie, and before Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Phil Lord and Chris Miller were working their magic at MTV, with a little TV series called Clone High.
The show was cancelled in 2003, but in the decidedly more just world of Miles Morales' Earth, the series proved to be a massive hit. The show was so popular, in fact, that it received a spin-off movie, called Clone College, with a poster for the film being advertised in Times Square.
Sony
It's a neat little throwback to one of their earlier works, and a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment hidden within one of the few snippets of Times Square we get in the film.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
