About this listen

In this bonus episode, Curtis, Erin, and Gabe (AKA the Bizarre Pod-rangle) rush into the virtual studio to discuss Andrew McCarthy’s documentary BRATS. Is it a self-indulgent whine fest? Or is there deeper meaning to McCarthy’s quest to connect with old friends, bury some hatchets, and exorcize some demons. We’ll discuss our favorite Brat Packers, dish on our fave BP film(s), and Curtis might even tell a story about an actor who didn’t return McCarthy’s calls. As a very, very special double bonus, we’ll create make a mix tape, live on the air! That’s when we ask ourselves, why do so many song titles from the 80s end in question marks?
