bots Ammi Just finished listening to a podcast on this case from the late 80's/early 90's, hadn't heard of it before but I think it was quite a big story at the time. It's an interesting one, this show about it is coming to Netflix on the 19th of this month

Looking forward to this, the Jeffrey Dahmer series last time was fantastic albeit harrowing.
I thought given the end of that series that this would be about John Wayne Gacy since he featured briefly in it so was surprised they’ve gone down the route of The Menendez Brothers.
If what they say (and others) is to be believed it’s not the brothers who were technically the “monsters” either so I’m intrigued to see how this pans out and how the brothers are portrayed.

Yeah, it's a complicated story/family dynamic to say the least...

Also, maybe why they've went with this story next is (don't click if you don't know anything about the story and don't want to know)
There's some new evidence that supports the brothers claim of sexual abuse that they're hoping could get their sentence reduced/free them which I hope happens
…this always comes up on my homepage when I click on a Netflix…(…it’s annoying because I tried to click on it the first time and Netflix now do this ‘coming soon’ teaser thing, when it used to be just things new and showing….anyway, I have my eye on it ready for its launch…I’m not sure whether I know any of the story or not and I don’t want to Google and see any information…I just want to go into it blind…

Yeah, if I were you I'd go in blind, I guess just bear in mind it's a dramatisation rather than documentary. I hope they stay as truthful to the real story as they can though (I'm sure they will)
that's today, i will look out for it!

It’s been announced that the next series will be all about Ed Gein with Charlie Hunnam playing him.
https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/monster-season-3-charlie-hunnam-ed-gein-1236147000/
Gein, who also hailed from Wisconsin like Dahmer, became infamous in the 1950s when authorities discovered that he not only had killed multiple people, but had dug up graves from a cemetery near his home and fashioned all manner of household items and clothing from human remains. Gein’s case served as an inspiration for several major pop culture characters later on, including Norman Bates in “Psycho” and Buffalo Bill in “Silence of the Lambs.”

I'll probably wait till tomorrow night to start it, looking forward to seeing what they do with it though after listening to the true facts of the case, i hope they don't mess around with it too much (they really shouldn't have to either because the truth is as strange in this case imo)

Oh I like Charlie Hunnam, that story sounds gruesome
…it’s had some criticism…or I should say that Netflix has had criticism for ‘glamourising serial killers’…I didn’t read the article yet as I didn’t get a chance, I just read the headline a few days ago…let me see if I can find it…
Sons of Anarchy star Charlie Hunnam has been cast as the notorious serial killer Ed Gein in season three of the Netflix show Monster by Ryan Murphy and not everyone is happy about the choice.
The true crime anthology series is set to return to Netflix on 19 September with the focus being on the Menendez brothers, Lyle and Erik, who were convicted of the murder of their parents in 1996.
Season one of the hit show saw Mare of Easttown and X-Men star Evan Peters play Jeffrey Dahmer, the man also known as the ‘Milwaukee Cannibal’ or the ‘Milwaukee Monster’, who committed the murder and dismemberment of 17 men and boys between 1978 and 1991.
Even before season two has landed on Netflix, the show has announced that season three will concentrate on Ed Gein, a serial killer who has inspired numerous fictional killers in pop culture including Leatherface in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Norman Bates in Psycho and Buffalo Bill in The Silence of the Lambs.
44-year-old Hunnam will play Gein, who in 1957 was revealed to have murdered two women and robbed multiple graves, using the stolen body parts to decorate his home and even create furniture and clothing.
This won’t be the first time that Gein’s story has been recreated. A 2000 film named In the Light of the Moon, but also known as Ed Gein, starring Steve Railsback was largely panned by critics.
Reaction to a new depiction of Gein’s story has already faced some pushback on social media, with many feeling that Hunnam isn’t the right person to play the role.
One person wrote: “Unpopular opinion: we need to stop romanticising serial killers. I love Charlie Hunnam and am willing to see this portrayal, but Ed Gein is not a person I’d ever want to meet in real life.”
A second added: “Ed Gein is evil. These killers are evil. These Ryan Murphy shows are making them into sex symbols.”
A third said: “Ed Gein was one of the worst serial killers to ever live, he inspired Psycho and Leatherface and he did not look like Charlie Hunnam. He should not be hot.”
The Monster series, despite becoming a sensation has not been without controversy. After the first season became a hit it was soon condemned by many viewers who felt it was exploitative.
Families of Jeffrey Dahmer’s victims also spoke out, saying the series was re-traumatising. A Milwaukee attorney, who previously represented a number of the families, later called on Murphy to share the profits with his former clients.
“The only meaningful Dahmer victim family action on Murphy’s part would be a monetary consideration from the Netflix profits for their exploitation and continuing trauma,” attorney Thomas M Jacobson said at the time.

Just one thing or things really so far that they've changed that kind of bothers me because it's unnecessary, the story already has a lot of material to work with and I found it a bit gross and offensive is
the way they portray the brothers as being very touchy feely, kissing eachother etc none of that is true. Yes it's true that Lyle briefly abused Erik when they were very young but not the other things when they were older. In fact apparently they found it difficult to be physically affectionate with eachother, even hugs were awkward. Also, this thing about Erik in prison and the thing he had with other inmate is not true. They weren't put in general population at all in fact while waiting on their trial because they were so high profile so again the shower scene etc just seemed very gratuitous, especially when it's childhood sexual abuse victims they're portraying
…I guess the thing with the other inmate was a fictionalisation just to touch on Erik’s sexuality because that was apparently something that prosecutors honed in on…that it wasn’t abuse because Erik was homosexual …I mean, can you imagine…but that thought process was sadly of it’s time…I mean, I’m only thinking that’s why they fictionalised that storyline but I don’t know…this is what I read in an article…
Erik Menendez’s sexuality largely played out in the first trial. Prosecutor Lester Kuriyama repeatedly tried to bring up the issue of Erik’s sexuality, but Judge Weissberg refused to allow it. During his closing argument, he argued to the jury that Jose had not forced Erik into homosexual acts, but was in fact furious that Erik was gay.
However, Erik told Barabra Walters in 1996 that he is not gay. “The prosecutor brought that up because I was sexually molested. He felt in his own thinking that I was sodomized by my father, I must have enjoyed it,” he told the reporter. “A lot of gay people feel connected to me.”
…Erik did apparently say that ‘gay people felt connected to him…’…so was that part just fictionalised to show that …as in the conversation he did say that he wasn’t attracted to men or something similar but the homosexual inmate was very attracted and drawn to him…
…I will read more of their story as I get the chance…

I think it's gross that the TV show makers ran with a pretty disgusting narrative that the prosecuters made up to try and make it seem like Erik enjoyed his father raping him
…the whole story is just so screwed up and the monster characteristics were inherited from their parents who took away their childhood which ultimately led to their adulthood being lost also in the confines of a prison…their father was obviously an horrendous abuser but their mother also was awful…and if they appeared to be sociopathic in their behaviour, it was obviously because learned to bury so much of their emotion inside in trying to make themselves immune and detached to the harm that was being done to them…

Oh just one other piece of information that wasn't in the show (and unfortunately wasn't found until after the verdicts) was
A letter Erik wrote nine months before the killings to his cousin telling him about the abuse
This event happened in the 80's at which point abuse really wasn't a thing that was talked about, so comparing it with todays environment just doesn't work. Many juries wouldn't believe it was an actual credible possibility
The way the show was dramatised, really didn't work for me. It's like latter series of the crown, where we are all well aware that apart from the key historical facts, the rest was just fiction. Look at the jury discussion during sentencing. That was just complete nonsense. They were going back and questioning whether they were innocent or guilty, where the same jury had just unanimously declared them guilty. The object of sentencing is to determine the death or imprisonment, not to relitigate the case

I stopped watching the Crown, only watched a couple of episodes of the last season
I agree with you though I really didn't like how they dramatised this case. I found it really distasteful how the brothers who were very very likely to have been victims of childhood sexual abuse were really objectified and sexualised in this show

…also the inference seemed to be that the relationship with the brothers was possibly incestuous…?…which seems to be a fabrication in terms of anything factual written…that was only ever a speculation thing based on a one time incident of Lyle taking Erik into the woods with a toothbrush and enacting something his father had done to him in trying to ‘normalise’ it as something that was done within a family…that abuse act with Erik is something he always admitted and only happened one time…he apparently never abused him again…

I listened to a podcast about the case before watching the show and on that they said that Lyle & Eric were in a separate wing to general population while they waited trial because the case was so high profile and there were fears for their safety

…also, apparently when Erik was 13yrs old, he confided in his cousin and asked him if what was happening with his father was a ‘normal father/son relationship’ and his cousin testified that at the first trial but I can’t recall seeing that…
…both of the brothers were ‘crying out’ to those people in their extended family circle from a very young age…all of those cries seemed to have been ignored…
…the abuse wasn’t allowed to be brought into the second trial at all, I don’t think…it had even become a ridiculed subject and called ‘The abuse excuse’…

Watched it last night. It was much better.
I don't know how anyone could watch Lyle and Eriks testimony's and think they were making that stuff up. Watching how they were being mocked on talk shows etc was horrific as well. Imagine taking the piss out of child sex abuse victims, absolutely sickening.
The original prosecutor sounds so bitter as well. The end was so sad, poor Erik blaming himself for everything :(
There's a very slim chance they could get a new trial/sentence. Decision of Habeas corpus petition for them is due in November I think :fc:
