The Menendez Brothers, Lyle and Erik, have officially hit the “we’re not amused” button on Ryan Murphy’s latest Netflix drama, Monsters. Apparently, the portrayal of their infamous family drama wasn’t quite what they envisioned—kind of like ordering a pizza and getting a plate of broccoli instead.
But fear not! These two are ready to take the spotlight back and spin their tale in a new Netflix documentary that drops on October 7. Think of it as their “Tell-All from the Cell” special, where they can finally set the record straight—prison-style!
This gripping doc features phone interviews with the brothers, captured in thrilling 15-minute snippets straight from their cozy prison digs at Donovan Correctional Facility in California. Who knew the prison phone system could be a hotbed for juicy storytelling?
In a riveting trailer, Lyle quips, “Everyone keeps asking why we killed our parents. Maybe now people will finally get the inside scoop!” (Note to self: never ask Lyle a question—he bites back!)
And then Erik chimes in like the sibling support he is: “What happened that night is basically the worst-kept secret in America, but there’s so much juicy stuff that’s been left out.” Wow, sounds like a family reunion I wouldn’t want to miss!
Meanwhile, over in the drama world, Nicholas Alexander Chavez and Cooper Koch are pulling off some serious acting chops as Lyle and Erik in Monsters, which you can binge-watch right now. They’re probably hoping to avoid any phone calls from the brothers, but you never know with these two!
So grab your snacks and get ready for some serious drama, humor, and perhaps a bit of prison philosophy, as the Menendez Brothers finally take the mic to tell their side of the story! 🍿
