😎 Brats on Hulu

This week on episode #221 of New Release … podcats Ashley and Drew revisit what some might say is the best worst decade in cinema history. That’s right, it’s 1985 and a select group of twenty-somethings are the hottest thing in Hollywood. Estevez, Ringwald, Nelson, Sheedy … am I forgetting anyone? Then, thanks to one well-titled magazine article, everything changed for these cats. Or did it? Andrew McCarthy’s new documentary Brats obsessively examines the real—or really perceived—fallout over David Blum’s infamous ‘Brat Pack’ moniker. We question whether his thesis holds any weight or if McCarthy just needed a way to justify his fade into obscurity. Not everyone survived the 80s, man. If this sounds like something you’d dig, search ‘New Release’ on Spotify or Apple to subscribe.
