About this episode

Description: Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s relationship is the stuff of Hollywood legend. Now that they’ve revived their love, we’re hoping they can overcome the media narrative that doomed them the first time around and stick with each other for the long haul. This week we talk to culture writer Anne Helen Petersen about how social media changes the game for Bennifer, why the paparazzi hated Jennifer Lopez but loved Jennifer Garner, and what’s at the root of that Sad Affleck meme.
