"Lost Boys": Music video by Phoebe Bridger, with Skyler Gisondo as a LARP fan, plus the boyfriend's dick and two nude extras

  

I'm not happy with the Gemstone guys since the show ended in 2025.  I know that both Adam Devine (Kelvin) and Tony Cavalero (Keefe) were married to women, but they played a lot of gay-subtext roles, and in their social media, they minimized their heterosexual interests, even pretending to be into guys.  

When the show ended, the gay teases abruptly stopped.  Now it's wife and kids, marriage and family, all through their social media, and their productions are entirely gay-free, even gay-subtext free.

Gavin Munn filled his social media with buddies and grown-up beefcake guys, until the Gemstones ended.  Then it was "Screw this, I'm taking a girl to junior prom!"

Skyler Gisondo is the worst of the lot.  His social media was full of homoerotic buddy-bonds, with girls rarely if ever mentioned -- until the show ended.  Then it was "Here's my girlfriend!  Have you met my girlfriend?  I hae a girlfriend!"  And his Superman (2025) involved blatant, slap-in-the-face queerbaiting: "I'm going to pretend I'm gay for two hours, then get a girlfriend, har har!"

Skyler's latest work is in the music video "Lost Boys," by Phoebe Bridgers, an American singer/songwriter who has won four Grammies for her "melancholy" songs with complex lyrics mirroring personal issues.

Phoebe is bisexual and an advocate for LGBTQ rights, and "Lost Boys" usually has a strong homoerotic connotation: the boys are "lost" because they have rejected the heterosexist trajectory into job, house, wife, and kids in favor of the infinite joy of the world of men.

We stop the fight right now, we got to be who we are.

So doubtless the song is about that joy.  

Right?

Scene 1: Phoebe, dressed as the Elf Galadriel from The Lord of the Rings,, drives with her knight on a motorcycle to a LARP battle in an auto graveyard.  The players are dressed as Medieval warriors. But it's a real battle, with blood and fire.

The first stanza seems to be about joining the army, "Where they make you cut your hair/ Impatient with a rifle and your papers." 

Scene 2: They have dinner in a Japanese restaurant, looking depressed.

Scene 3: They stop into a convenience store for snacks, and clerk Skyler is awestricken. Phoebe pays with magic, smiles, and leaves.

Scene 4: Skyler rushes to the basement, grabs a pickaxe and a football helmet, and rushes out.  He spies on the group as they practice their swordsmanship and have another dinner at the Japanese restaurant.

The next stanza has nothing to do with the story.   Phoebe recounts a time in East Berlin where her ex "threw a tantrum with a 57 (microphone) and broke a rib."
