00:02If you were coming of age in the 1980s, the Brat Pack was near the center of your cultural
00:08awareness. But for those of us experiencing it from the inside, the Brat Pack was something
00:13very different. On June 10th, 1985, New York Magazine published Hollywood's Brat Pack.
00:21I just remember seeing that cover and thinking, oh, from then on, my career and the career
00:30of everyone who was involved was branded to the Brat Pack. I'm really sorry that article
00:36had to come out. I've never talked to anybody about what that was like. So I thought it might
00:42be interesting to try and contact everyone who was in the Brat Pack. Hey, Emilio Estevez,
00:46this is Andrew McCarthy calling you. Hey, Ali. Hey, Demi. Hey, Molly. Let's call you
00:51Paul Rob. Hello? Judd? Me? You around? Hey. You've been not interested in talking about
01:00the Brat Pack for years. I turned everything down. How come you're talking to me? Because
01:04you called me. It was time that we cleared the air in a couple of things. I love your stuff,
01:09Bob. Hey, thank you. I hated the Brat Pack for decades. What a f***ing disaster. If you could
01:15have the Brat Pack name not exist, would you? Hmm. It really irritated me. They said,
01:24what's more important to you, the movie or your life? And I said, the movie, Andrew.
01:34Have you talked to the others? The others. Like, again, it feels like a culture. Yeah.
01:40Why did we take it as an offense? Well, could you call the Brat? Because we were young. We're
01:45afraid we were Brats. You know? Are you in the Brat Pack? I'm Brat Pack-a-G. That's
01:50what I would say. I am not in the Brat Pack. Don't you crush on you back in the day?
01:56You
01:57did not, Andrew. No, you did not. Being in the Brat Pack not only changed all of our lives,
02:01it changed what entertainment is. I'm not going to say we were the Beatles or anything. Well,
02:05tell Shea Stadium. There were moments. We could have. 1985. I think we could have.
02:15So what are you filming? Oh, we're just doing this documentary. What's it about? Ancient History.
