5 Songs With ‘Monsters: The Lyle & Erik Menendez Story’ Music Supervisors Amanda Krieg Thomas & Anna Romanoff

Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story music supervisors Amanda Krieg Thomas & Anna Romanoff talk about the music in the Netflix series.

While the prosecution argued they were seeking to inherit their family fortune, the brothers claimed – and remain adamant to this day, as they serve life sentences without the possibility of parole – that their actions stemmed out of fear from a lifetime of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse at the hands of their parents. The series stars Cooper Koch as Erik Menendez and Nicolas Chavez as Lyle as well as Javier Bardem and Chloe Sevigny as their murdered parents. Krieg Thomas also pointed to the historical accuracy of the story – the Menendez Brothers did, in fact, play Milli Vanilli’s “Girl I’m Gonna Miss You” at their parents’ funeral.
