In the mid-80s, actors like Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez, Molly Ringwald and Demi Moore were taking Hollywood by storm. Often sharing top billing in a range of coming-of-age teen dramas (most notably 1985’s double-whammy of "The Breakfast Club" and "St. Elmo’s Fire"), their careers were derailed when "New York Magazine" ran a cover story labelling them 'Hollywood’s Brat Pack'.

Although now an affectionate shorthand, initially the term negatively impacted the personal and professional lives of those associated with it. Perhaps none more so than McCarthy, whose documentary "Brats" sees him reunite his former 'Brat Pack' chums to assess the toll of that “scathing” 1985 article – as well as meeting its author David Blum for the first time.

Film buffs can expect a celebrity-studded insight into 80s Hollywood and the fickle nature of the fame game. Read on as we explain how to watch "Brats" online from anywhere now.
