Summary
Like this is a totally Gen X documentary, fersure! Actor Andrew McCarthy goes on a quest to make peace with being labeled as a member of the "Brat Pack" in a 1985 article in New York Magazine. He interviews his fellow "Brat Packers" Emilio Estevez, Demi Moore, Rob Lowe and Ally Sheedy to unpack how that label affected their lives and their careers. This is the ultimate Gen X documentary, we loved it!
