Gimme Three - A Series For Cinephiles

Send us a text

The release of Andrew McCarthy's documentary Brats has audiences revisiting and reliving a marquee era for teen cinema. On today's episode, host Nicholas Ybarra is joined by guests Adriana Lopez and Ryan Lacen.
Together, they explore how watching these films through an adult lens has shifted their perceptions. Also, prepare yourself for plenty of debates on important questions like "Who is in the Brat Pack?" and "What do you consider a Brat Pack movie?"
The films that we discuss today are locks in the Brat Pack saga, for sure:

• The Breakfast Club
• St. Elmo's Fire
• Pretty In Pink

As always, we'd love to hear what you think of these films, but also what your favorite Brat Pack film is.
