Prawnhorn Heroes Presents – The Lost Na-Go – a Kamen Rider Geats Short Fan Film
We are excited to premiere a short, independent fan-film from our friend Gem at Prawnhorn Heroes based on Kamen Rider Geats! For those who don’t follow Kamen Rider Geats, the show is essentially about a group of individuals competing in a “Squid Games” type game titled the “Desire Grand Prix”. The winner will have their wish granted. The losers either have their memories erased or, if they fall in battle during the DGP, they are “eliminated”. Going in to any more detail than that risks potential spoilers.
Here is the official description of “The Lost Na-Go” along with film credits.
The Lost Na-Go is an independent tokusatsu short fan film about a guy named Ben that has been chosen to enter the Desire Grand Prix. Having the desire to change his future, he sets on the journey to find his buckle to continue participating in the Grand Prix.
After being inspired by projects like Power Rangers Unworthy, Jammingers, & Bloodline of the Grid to name a few, I always wondered what an American indie Kamen Rider project would look like. With that, The Lost Na-Go amongst other unnamed projects were born. While I heavily take influence from the shows proper, I also hope to create original stories that feel more like adaptations. My goal is to keep bringing more stories inspired by my favorite tokusatsu shows for fans who love them just as much as I do. Why not start with some Kamen Rider?

Hasbro Announces Layoffs – Removing 1,000 Jobs or 15% of Global Workforce
Hasbro has announced that they will be eliminating 1,000 jobs from their global workforce – or 15% of their entire workforce – within the coming weeks to combat lower-than-expected fiscal results for 2022. This is all part of a new plan from new CEO Chris Cocks titled “Blueprint 2.0”, which sees the company as a whole transition away from former CEO Brian Goldner‘s vision of Hasbro becoming an entertainment company and more in to Hasbro becoming a gaming company.
The gaming division of Hasbro – specifically Wizards of the Coast – was the only segment of business to see positive revenues in 2022. That is before the debacle with the changes to their Open Gaming License (OGL) which saw tens of thousands of fans cancel their paid online accounts with Dungeons and Dragons in protest.
Hasbro is also looking to sell off their recently acquired entertainment division, eOne, but maintain control of the intellectual properties that they can exploit in other segments of business (ie: toys, games, cards, etc.). The company already sold off the music portion of eOne which, coupled with the lack of meaningful IP’s may make selling the rest of eOne harder than expected.
Our thoughts and positive energies are with those effected negatively by these upcoming layoffs.
