() The Menendez brothers appeared in their first joint interview in decades by phone on TMZ’s podcast “2 Angry Men” with host Harvey Levin and attorney Mark Geragos, who represented Erik and Lyle.

They discussed prison life as well as their reaction to Netflix’s series, “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.”

Lyle Menendez revealed on the podcast that he felt “grateful” for the Netflix series, expressing how he thinks it helped people understand the childhood trauma he and his brother experienced.

“I feel a lot of people were educated about what can happen in rich and affluent homes, behind walls,” Menendez said. “I think it opened a lot of people’s eyes, and that’s always a good thing.”

The brothers initially criticized the show’s portrayal of their lives, crime and trial, calling it “disheartening slander.”

In August 1989, the brothers shot and killed their parents Kitty and José Menendez. It was a crime the pair, aged 21 and 18 at the time, claim came after years of sexual, physical and emotional abuse.

They were tried separately in 1993 and then jointly in 1995, ultimately being convicted in 1996 for the Beverly Hills murders. They were sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole, though they continue to work toward reopening the case.
