[Music] Andrew McCarthy is shedding light on why Molly Ringwald and Jud Nelson are not featured in his Brat Pack documentary Bratz I mean they both are in the film in a sense that there's a lot of clips and interviews and things the director told Entertainment Tonight the brat pack is an ongoing relationship you know what I mean and some people are at different plac in their lives to want to or not want to talk about it I think that just informs it even more I mean that's my takeaway from it while Ringwald and Nelson may not have sat down for interviews like their fellow Brat Pack Stars the two appear in the film through the use of archival footage taken at the height of the cultural phenomenon in the 1980s and of course they do come up in conversation in the dock when pretty and pink star John CER asks McCarthy if he spoken to Ringwald he replies she said she'd think about about it but that she probably would just like to keep moving forward McCarthy also notes that he had plans to connect with Nelson while he was out in La trying to talk with some of the gang but he was at some undisclosed location and not available that weekend Nelson however does pop up at the very end of the film in an interesting way when McCarthy's phone rings he picks it up and goes Jud a rep for Ringwald did not respond to entertainment Weekly's multiple requests for comment in the end McCarthy was able to catch up with a mix of both Bratz and brat adjacent Stars including CER Emelio Estes roblo Demi Moore Leah Thompson and Timothy Hutton to reflect on their meteoric rise to fame following the release of films like The Breakfast Club pretty and pink and St Elmo's Fire and how the brat pack title affected them both personally and professionally I was surprised as many people would want to speak to me that did you know because I thought the biggest challenge would be to get people to participate he admitted I knew it was still so sort of dodgy in some people's lives more previously told ew that her only regret when it came to the documentary is that McCarthy conducted individual interviews rather than bringing the whole group together again I had such a great time sitting down and talking with McCarthy I'm sad there wasn't an opportunity where we were all sitting in a room together talking she said that's my only wish it's something very unique to all of us that we experienced Bratz is a available to stream now on Hulu
