\"I just remember seeing that cover and thinking, oh f---,\" McCarthy added. \"From then on, my career and the career of everyone who was involved was branded to the brat pack. I've never talked to anybody about what that was like, so I thought it might be interesting to try and contact everyone who was in the brat pack.\"

The trailer then shows clips of McCarthy calling up his former film co-stars and other actors involved in the group and having conversations with them, including Demi Moore, Lowe and Estevez about how being part of the \"Brat Pack\" affected them.

\"I hated the brat pack for decades,\" Lowe says in one scene. \"What a f---ing disaster.\"

\"It really irritated me,\" Moore says in another part. \"They said, 'What's more important to you? The movie or your life?' And I said, the movie!\"

The upcoming film, which McCarthy directed and wrote, will explore the films of the 1980s that shaped a generation and how the brat pack term took a hold of the young stars at the time when they were branded the \"Brat Pack.\"

In addition to Lowe, Esteves and Moore, McCarthy reunites with Ally Sheedy, Jon Cryer, Lea Thompson and Timothy Hutton. A press release for the film also notes that McCarthy will sit down with David Blum, the writer who coined the Brat Pack term in the New York Magazine cover story, for a first-time ever conversation.

\"BRATS\" will premiere on Hulu on June 13.

Disney is the parent company of Hulu, ABC News, and \"Good Morning America.\"
