Welcome to the Gifted Child Symposium. We're Miyin and Felicia, two former gifted children who were a pleasure to have in the classroom, making the most of our degrees in English literature by over-analysing pillars of pop culture and also anything else that we find amusing.

The Barbie Movie: The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle the Mojo Dojo Casa House

This time, we’re taking on a film basically everyone has an opinion on: Barbie (2023), dir. Greta Gerwig. We will dissect the gendered societal structure of Barbieland, praise the rise of himbos, discuss the tradition of utopian narratives, and apply some good ol’ Audre Lorde to girl’s night (which is every night).
