The ’90s Had It’s Own Version of the Brat Pack

Andrew McCarthy’s recently released Hulu documentary, Brats, is an interesting look at how labels can affect you, especially when you’re younger and more impressionable. The Brat Pack, as they were called, were a group of young actors and actresses in the ’80s who starred frequently together in some of the signature coming-of-age films of the decade. It appears like a fun elite group that any young person would want to be a part of, but McCarthy’s documentary, almost like a 90-minute therapy session, focuses on how the moniker shaped their lives and careers, leaning mostly in a negative way because, to some of them, it meant they could no longer be taken seriously as actors.
