468 - Geek Challenge: Lady Bird vs. Ladyhawke

<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">It's Ladies' Night on</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Gobbledygeek</span></em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">! By which we mean we've got a</span> <strong>Geek Challenge</strong> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">featuring Richard Donner's 1985 medieval fantasy epic</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Ladyhawke</span></em> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">and Greta Gerwig's 2017 millennial coming-of-age tale</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lady Bird</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">. What do these two films have in common? They're both about transformation, of course! In</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lady Bird</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, Saoirse Ronan transforms into a young woman ready to take on the big city; in</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Ladyhawke</span></em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">, 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.</span></span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">NEXT: this month's</span> <strong>Four-Color Flashback</strong> <span style="font-weight: 400;">contemplates mortality with a dive into Ram V and Filipe Andrade's</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Many Deaths of Laila Starr</span></em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">.</span></span></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><span style= "font-size: 10pt;"><strong>BREAKDOWN</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 10pt;">00:00:45  -  Intro</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">00:10:54  - </span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Lady Bird</span></em></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">01:04:04  - </span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 40
