What the hosts said

LIt's Friday afternoon, you're listening to Pop Lunch, and Rogue's accent is already causing chaos.
CThe X-Men haven't even started filming and the internet has opinions.
LInde Navarrette posted a sneak peek of her Rogue voice — the iconic "sugar" line.
CAnd she's already said she'll work on it if fans don't like it.
LSmart move. She saw what happened to every actor who got defensive online.
CThe accent is the whole thing with Rogue. She's Southern, she's dramatic, she says "sugah."
LIf it's not a little camp, it's not right.
CThat's a rare kind of confidence for a big franchise role.
LMeanwhile, Slayyyter had to cancel shows — and the rumor mill went wild.
CJust two shows. Copenhagen and Hamburg.
LPeople online said she cancelled her whole UK and EU run.
CNot true. Reportedly, doctors told her to rest her voice after vocal cord tears, but she's back in Warsaw October twenty-fourth.
LVocal cord tears sound terrifying for a singer.
COne fan pointed out you could hear her voice was absolutely gone in recent performance videos.
LSo it sounds like a health thing, not a scheduling thing. Hope she heals up.
CAnd we've got a new look at 'The Gallerist' with Jenna Ortega and Natalie Portman.
LTwo of the most intense eyes in Hollywood in one frame.
CThat's a lot of staring.
LJenna Ortega in a psychological thriller about the art world? I'm already stressed.
CThat's the pitch. Portman in a gallery, Ortega in her orbit, everything gets weird.
LI need that energy at the movies. Give me two unhinged performances and a creepy auction.
CWe'll keep an eye on it — more Pop Lunch coming up after this.
