Just Another Film Nerd: TIL this exists. As a white person, I feel compelled to point out that a successful white actor/director makong a doco about how several other successful white actors were “unfairly” tarnished by a label some decades earlier is about the whitest thing imaginable. Think I’d rather watch Mannequin

"Brats" further proves that celebs miss the point of media labels like "Brat Pack" and "Nepo Baby." A better doc would have explored what it feels like to wrestle with whether you’re a good actor or just famous, young and white. Instead, it's an empty, 90-minute rant www.huffpost.com/entry/brats-...

They Were The White-Hot Actors Of The '80s. Two Words Made Them Question That.www.huffpost.com The new documentary “Brats” attempts to take aim at a magazine narrative without recognizing the privilege of being young, white and famous.

From The Hip (the only known collaboration between Ally McBeal’s Dave E Kelley and Porky’s’ Bob Clark) starring Judd Nelson remains a truly fun film btw

Also pretty sure the problems with Rob Lowe’s career (remember those?) had more to do with things totes unrelated to being a member of the “Brat Pack”

By and large, the Brat Pack stars that thrived were the best actors and worked their arses off. And they all have had steady careers many actors would kill for.
