‘Cruel Summer’ Season 2 Adds Lexi Underwood in Recasting

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media ReporterFor the past two years, box office reports have been accompanied by a COVID-shaped asterisk: Ticket sales were [insert adjective of choice] for a pandemic.After all, “Wonder Woman 1984,” “F9: The Fast Saga” and every would-be blockbuster in between could have generated more in ticket sales without a devastating global health crisis upending the movie theater landscape.But as “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” debuted to $90 million last October ($10 million more than its predecessor) and “Spider-Man: No Way Home” landed the second-highest domestic debut in history with $260 million, the caveats began to fade.

For instance, Paige addresses Lindsay's «Hot Hubbs Summer» approach to dating with the line, «I don't care who you deem worthy to be inside of you.» That catches Lindsay's boyfriend, Carl's, attention, as he gets into a bit of a spat with Paige (who he's hooked up with in the past) that ends with Paige exclaiming, «What did do this summer?!» Paige also gets some awkward laughter from Andy and the group after the  host points out how she hasn't looked Lindsay, who is seated right next to her, in the eye at all during the taping.
