Josh, Adam and guest Michael Phillips avoid turning into Norma Desmond’s driveway for this week’s Top 5: Movies About Fame (Non-Hollywood Edition). Plus, the trio offers some thoughts on the new Steve James documentary about Roger Ebert, LIFE ITSELF, and last weekend’s tragic passing of actor Philip Seymour Hoffman.
