On this episode of The Movie Podcast, Daniel and Shahbaz are joined by Nicholas Alexander Chavez and Cooper Koch from Ryan Murphy’s Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.
Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story chronicles the case of the real-life brothers convicted in 1996 for the murders of their parents, José and Mary Louise “Kitty” Menendez. While the prosecution argued that the brothers sought to inherit their family fortune, they maintain—now serving life sentences without the possibility of parole—that their actions stemmed from a lifetime of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse at the hands of their parents. The series dives into this historic case that captivated the world, paving the way for the modern fascination with true crime, and challenges viewers with the question: Who are the real monsters? @Netflix @stillwatchingnetflix
