You can take the girl out of Lawndale, but you can’t make her think her present company is any less idiotic. It’s time for “Gifted,” here on Morgendorks! When Daria and Jodie get selected to tour a prestigious prep school, the duo learn all too quickly that while the greener grass on the other side may be smarter and destined to one day run the world, it’s also much more likely to be a smarmy ass about it. Also: Quinn and Jane! Together!
We also take a deep and disheartening dive into the elephant in the room with regard to private school demographics (specifically: they are very, very rich and white). It’s a fascinating subject we’ll likely cover more over on the Patreon in the near future!
