The Menendez Brothers

"Today (9/23/2024), Netflix dropped the official trailer for this upcoming documentary THE MENENDEZ BROTHERS, set to stream soon (in October). An article I read pointed out: "The doc has no connection to the #RyanMurphy series, though Netflix is hosting BOTH to show the REAL story and the FAKE one side-by-side." ~ I had to laugh at the writer’s cheeky use of "FAKE" 😆. The Menendez brothers' case has always been captivating, and #Netflix is clearly emphasizing the #contrast between #FACT and #FICTION with this DUAL RELEASE. As a #truecrime enthusiast, I hope this new #documentary—releasing nearly 30 years after the crime—will offer fresh perspectives and a unique angle on the story! Since there's no preview clip on Likewise yet, here's the trailer link: 🔗 https://decider.com/2024/09/23/the-menendez-brothers-netflix-documentary-audio-interviews/"

"This documentary is a nice companion piece to watch after viewing the second season of Monsters: the Lyle and Erik Melendez Story. It goes in depth into the trial with interviews with family members, jurors, and direct audio recordings of Lyle and Erik Melendez themselves. 8/10"

"So interesting so hear it from the brothers interviews. "

"Much better than the show even tho I think the doc has a slightly bias view"

"So sad. I believe these boys and the fact that people were making fun of them is disturbing and disgusting "

"Tells the real story, and is told from their perspective."

"the Menendez brothers movie was so good. I love documentaries in general but this one stuck out to me. What these boys went through is horrible, and this shows how the court system is just incredibly horrible. It really gave perspective and it hurt to watch the boys cry while telling their story but it needed to be told. So powerful seeing all the family and friends speak up about it too! I’m so mad they had a mistrial!!! Also I totally get it they did a horrible thing, but there was a motive and they served their time. Overall super good portrayed movie I don’t know how they fit all of it into 2 hours! They deserve so much better! People that think boys don’t get sexually abused is crazy to me. I hope they get out and to live their lives someday :) "

"Cool to see the brother’s interviews but a sad story "

"i only watched this for erik. ended up questioning everything. so much was done wrong and in my opinion they should be free because proper investigation was not preformed. however they did take 2 lives. and they spoke up too late about what their parents had done. i believe it was wrong but they should not still be in jail. i also hated watching this because it was SO CONTROVERSIAL "

"so so heartbreaking"
