Join Luke & James as they take a wholesome trip across the universe with Madeleine L’Engle’s 1962 novel, “A Wrinkle in Time,” before they see the new film by Ava DuVernay starring Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, Mindy Kaling, and more. They begin with only general thoughts about the novel, some of the science the book deals with, and the difficulties the author had with finding a publisher.
