Each season is less frequent, so by next year it will be a TikTok video.

In 1985, a New York Magazine article reported that Andrew McCarthy, Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, Demi Moore, Judd Nelson and others, coined the term "Brat Pack" to describe the young stars of that generation. The nickname, which is likened to the mid-century "Rat Pack" label, has come to define actors in a lasting and, in some cases, harmful way, as McCarthy explores in this documentary. In this documentary, McCarthy sits down with fellow Brat Pack members, some of whom he hasn't spoken to in decades, and David Blum, the author of this article, to delve into how labels, reputations, and images can make or break a career in Hollywood. [A popular Japanese superhero who has battled monsters in cartoons, TV shows, and movies faces his greatest challenge: raising a child. In this animated film, baseball star Takeru Sato reluctantly returns to Tokyo to don the mantle of Ultraman when the city is besieged by a monster attack. However, Sato faces an unexpected turn of events when he is forced to adopt a 35-foot-tall, fire-breathing monster baby. Not only does he have to juggle baseball and being a superhero, he also has to raise a child. The baby, Emi, needs only one breath of air, and she is capable of destroying the block. Sato's inner and outer strength is put to the test in order to protect Emi from the forces that seek to use her.
