It's Ladies' Night on Gobbledygeek! By which we mean we've got a Geek Challenge featuring Richard Donner's 1985 medieval fantasy epic Ladyhawke and Greta Gerwig's 2017 millennial coming-of-age tale Lady Bird. What do these two films have in common? They're both about transformation, of course! In Lady Bird, Saoirse Ronan transforms into a young woman ready to take on the big city; in Ladyhawke, Rutger Hauer and Michelle Pfeiffer quite literally transform into a wolf and a hawk, respectively. Paul struggles with passive aggressive family drama, Arlo is annoyed by Matthew Broderick, and they both remember what it was like to be 15.   NEXT: this month's Four-Color Flashback contemplates mortality with a dive into Ram V and Filipe Andrade's The Many Deaths of Laila Starr.     BREAKDOWN 00:00:45  -  Intro 00:10:54  -  Lady Bird 01:04:04  -  Ladyhawke 01:57:04  -  Outro / Next     LINKS   “Is ‘Ladyhawke’ the Best Fairytale of Them All?” by Leah Schnelbach, Tor.com       MUSIC “Main Title” by Andrew Powell &
