Saturday Night Social: Ben Affleck and 'Ye West On SNL Season Finale
Bro. Bro. Bro. Bro. Seriously, bro, Ben Affleck hosts the 38th season finale of Saturday Night Live tonight with a really obscure toe dancer named Kanye West. Here's hoping they throw Baaahston more teasing/love, like they did in the old-school Jimmy Fallon/Rachel Dratch skits.

Somehow, Skyler garners more fan hatred than the brilliant, evil meth cook and murderer she's…
Greta Gerwig Needed Noah Baumbach's Validation To Write Frances Ha
I don't think I'd be super off-base if I said that Greta Gerwig was the closest thing our generation has to old-school Diane Keaton; she's flighty and light on-screen, but there's melancholy and intelligence behind it.
