Andrew McCarthy’s Brats Is Now Streaming On Hulu

In the June 10, 1985 edition of New York Magazine, David Blum wrote a piece about a group of young, successful actors and dubbed them the “Brat Pack.” The cultural impact of the article changed and defined the experience of these actors as they rose to stardom.

The Brats documentary follows the infamous group of young Hollywood stars, with names like Emilio Estevez, Molly Ringwald, Demi Moore, Ally Sheedy, Judd Nelson, Anthony Michael Hall and Andrew McCarthy. Members of the Brat Pack starred in hit 1980s movies like The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, St. Elmo’s Fire and Sixteen Candles.

Actor, Author, Director and Producer Andrew McCarthy brings this story to the screen with his Hulu original documentary. The show features interviews and stories of some of the biggest names amongst the Brat Pack and David Blum himself.
