The highly anticipated Netflix documentary series, ‘Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,’ has generated buzz for its in-depth exploration of the infamous Menendez brothers case. ET’s Kevin Frazier recently sat down with film producer Scott Budnick, who not only produced the series but also visited the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility near San Diego to speak with the Menendez brothers themselves.
In the interview, Budnick shed light on which parts of ‘Monsters’ are based on fact and which parts are fictionalized for dramatic effect. Having spoken directly with Erik and Lyle Menendez, Budnick was able to provide valuable insights into their perspectives on the case and the events that transpired.
One of the key themes of the documentary series is prison reform, an issue close to Budnick’s heart. Alongside Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kris Jenner, and ‘Monsters’ star Cooper Koch, Budnick engaged in meaningful conversations with the Menendez brothers and other inmates about the need for changes within the criminal justice system.
‘Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story’ offers a unique perspective on a well-known crime, delving into the personal experiences and motivations of those involved. With streaming now available on Netflix, audiences have the opportunity to see the case through a new lens and draw their own conclusions about the truth behind the headlines. As the series continues to spark discussion and debate, viewers are encouraged to consider the line between fact and fiction in the unfolding narrative.
