Do We Have a Modern-Day Brat Pack?


Let’s consider a few candidates.

Coined by New York Magazine’s David Blum as a play on “Rat Pack,” the term became a reluctant moniker for a troupe of young movie stars who were changing the cultural landscape with youth-focused films like The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, and St. Elmo’s Fire. Feldstein and Platt will eventually star in Richard Linklater’s Merrily We Roll Along when we’re all long dead, and that’s to say nothing of Alice by Heart and its many workshops, for which we’d need an additional 1,000 words. Core Members: Paul Mescal, Nicola Coughlan, Barry Keoghan, Andrew Scott, Kerry Condon, Ayo Edebiri.
