Michael's role in the recent film The Most Reluctant Convert which tells the story of C.S. Lewis. They also discuss Lewis's relationship with J.R.R. Tolkien and the role of reason and imagination in evangelizing the culture today. Plus, Fr. Michael shares what he believes the true climax of The Lord of the Rings is - the answer may surprise you!
