McCarthy shares his journey through Hollywood, his struggles with fame, and his personal growth over the years.

“Brats” (directed by McCarthy) provides an insider’s look at the phenomenon of the Brat Pack. It features interviews with the actors themselves, behind-the-scenes stories, and commentary on how their films shaped a generation. The documentary captures the essence of the 1980s film scene and offers a retrospective of the careers and lives of these iconic actors.
