I'm Rebecca Lervoy and this is You Can't Make This Up. Today we've got something special, a preview of an exciting new Netflix series,

the Menendez Brothers, The Official Podcast.

This is a companion to the documentary film that's out today.

Normally we'd invite Director Alejandro Hartman on our show for an interview.

But instead, we're going to hear from him as the host of the podcast.

Over three episodes, he takes us on his journey to first meet

and then eventually gain the brothers trust.

Through over 20 hours of exclusive interviews which Alejandro was forced to record in 15 minute

intervals over prison telephones, we hear from the brothers directly.

They haven't told their story together before now.

Talking about everything from the events leading up to that fateful night in 1989, their family's history of abuse, their lives behind bars,

and even their hopes for the future.

All three episodes of the podcast will be launching in the You can't make this up feed on Friday.

So come back after you've watched the doc.

You won't want to miss it.

And now an exclusive preview of the Menendez Brothers, the official podcast,

with your host Alejandro Hartman. Behind pristine closed doors, close doors,

Hosseang Kitty, Behind pristine closed doors, Josean Kiddy cultivated a chaotic environment for their sons,

where their worth was measured by their willingness to submit to Jose's obsessive drive for the image of perfection.

There's a boy, I didn't, I didn't know. I just assumed that everyone viewed sports as as a kind of

Spartan psychological warfare that my mother and my father buted us and both of them viewed it in the same way.

It was the idea of if I let this other boy win and their family is better than us.
