Remember the “Brat Pack” from the 1980s … especially the main members Andrew McCarthy, Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, Demi Moore, Ally Sheedy, Molly Ringwald and Judd Nelson, among other adjacent members? In movies like “St. Elmo’s Fire,” “The Outsiders,” “The Breakfast Club,” and “Pretty in Pink,” among others? Well, Andrew McCarthy decided to make a documentary on how that “grouping” affected them, what resentments they hold onto, and how they think about it today.
