Ryan Murphy on why he thinks ‘Monsters’ is the “best thing” to happen to the Menendez Bros. in 30 years
They are now being talked about by millions of people all over the world. There’s a documentary coming out in two weeks about them, also on Netflix.
And I think the interesting thing about it is it’s asking people to answer the questions, ‘Should they get a new trial? Should they be let out of jail?
What happens in our society? Should people be locked away for life? Is there no chance ever at rehabilitation?’ I’m interested in that, and a lot of people are talking about it.
We’re asking really difficult questions, and it’s giving these brothers another trial in the court of public opinion. From what I can tell, it’s really opened up the possibility that this evidence that they claim that they have, maybe that there is going to be a way forward for them.I have no interest in talking to them.
