Actor Andrew McCarthy's documentary "Brats," which is about the renowned "Brat Pack" collective of the 1980s, released its official trailer on Wednesday. McCarthy re-connects with his old co-stars, Emilio Estevez and Demi Moore, in the almost two-and-a-half-minute short about the controversial nickname they were provided when they were young performers.
As a parody of Frank Sinatra's "Rat Pack," the term "Brat Pack" was first used in a 1985 New York Magazine article to describe McCarthy and his contemporaries who starred in coming-of-age movies like "Sixteen Candles," "The Breakfast Club," and "St. Elmo's Fire," as well as actors Estevez, Moore, Rob Lowe, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald, and Ally Sheedy.
McCarthy states in the teaser, "I just remember seeing that cover and thinking, 'Oh,'" before using profanity. "Everyone's career, including mine, was associated with the Brat Pack from that point on."
In the footage, McCarthy and his fellow Brat Packers continue to express how contemptuous they are of the name, with Estevez admitting to McCarthy that he had shied away from speaking in public about the Brat Pack in the past.
Estevez claims, "I turned everything down." But "it was time to address a few issues," as the saying goes. On June 13, Hulu will begin to watch the documentary, which was produced by ABC News Studios.
