The con will be back on this spring, when Leverage: Redemption Season 3 arrives on Prime Video.

TVLine has learned that Season 3 of the caper drama (which previously streamed on Freevee) will premiere Thursday, April 17, with the first three episodes of 10, followed by weekly drops.

In Season 3, Sophie/The Grifter (Gina Bellman), Eliot/The Hitter (Christian Kane), Parker/The Thief (Parker), Hardison/The Hacker (Aldis Hodge), Breanna/The Maker (Aleyse Shannon) and Harry/The Fixer (Noah Wyle) will contend with “a power broker stealing the clean water under people’s feet and turning it into dirty money, fight a mayor who’s literally the judge and jury of his small town, outrun a mark who’s finally caught up with them mid-con, out-hustle a pool hustler with a side business in extortion, and bring down an industrialist exploiting child labor,” the official synopsis tells us. “All this while dodging an intricate plan of vengeance from a past enemy and working through the fallout of their new personal relationships.”

Though Aldis Hodge is listed above, the busy actor told TVLine that fans once again will only get “a little bit” of Hardison — “you might not get enough, because I was little occupied shooting Season 2 of Cross” this past summer.

Similarly, the equally busy Noah Wyle recently told TVLine that he was unable to write or direct any of Leverage Season 3, as he was readying Max’s The Pitt for production.

Guest stars on tap for Leverage: Redemption Season 3 include, as TVLine previously scooped, Rachael Harris (Lucifer) and Auden Wyle (back as Harry’s daughter), plus Jack Coleman (Heroes), Drew Powell (Gotham), Alex Boniello (Ghosts‘ Crash), Cedric Yarbrough (The Goldbergs), Mary Hollis Inboden (The Righteous Gemstones) and Sam Witwer (Smallville).

John Rogers came on board as showrunner for Season 3, and executive-produced with fellow co-creator Chris Downey plus Dean Devlin, Marc Roskin and Rachel Olschan-Wilson.

What has been happening in the world of motorsports lately?

Williams has a new sponsor to become Atlassian Williams Racing

They also became the first team to launch their 2025 car officially (since then we also saw 2025 McLaren hiding in one-off testing camo livery and Haas during a private filming day at Silverstone yesterday)

Tina Hausmann is returning for her second season in F1 Academy with Aston Martin

Nina Gademan will be driving for Prema (after it was already announced she will be repping Alpine)

Allwyn scored a new partnership with F1 as a part of LVMH group and they also signed with McLaren the next day (fun fact the founder of the KKCG Group that Allwyn is part of is 3rd richest Czech guy so all hate is sent his way from my side <3 I hope he trips and dies with his 8 billion in his pocket)

Aston Martin became (as far as I am aware) the first F1 team with an official beauty brand partnership in Elemis

Kinda fits with Carlos Sainz shooting an ad for L’Oreal Paris

Mercedes fired up their 2025 engine

Eni partnered with Alpine (again) and there are rumours they could get a partnership with MSC Cruises too and maybe Valvoline

The Ferrari/UniCredit event in Milan will take place on 6th March

And F1 introduced the entertainment for tomorrow’s season launch at O2:

Host will be Jack Whitehall (comedian and actor I never heard about)

Feature by Kane Brown (also never heard about)

Bryan Tyler’s Are We Dreaming (the composer of the F1 theme song, I do know him)

Take That (british band)

Mgk (“award-winning multi-platinum recording artist”??? so I guess a musician?)

There are RUMOURS that Checo, Guanyu and Val are all on Cadillac’s list of potential drivers (besides Colton Herta)

Cupra Kiro took a similar route to Alpine and are now co-owned by an investor group including Idris Elba

Max also became the brand ambassador of AlphaTauri

After MBS said they could just cut off radio communication altogether if drivers don’t stop swearing, he also said they will have multiple race directors

FIA now announced they will have one race director (Rui Marques) but he will have a deputy race director in Claire Dubbelman (so where is the truth)

THEY MASSACRED MY BEAUTIFUL GIRL, Monaco will have a title sponsor for the first time ever in history, it will be Formula 1 TAG Heuer Grand Prix de Monaco (wtf)

Congo wants to stop the talks of Rwanda with F1 due to a conflict in the area (F1 answered something along the lines… we are looking at it)

There are many more team kit / race suits / helmet drops for 2025

Franco has a good chance of driving for Alpine this season if anyone was still in doubt but Vowles say that he will then return to Williams

Third year in row now, rumours about Seb returning to F1 appear

F3 will be using 100% sustainable fuel already this year

Max broke a new F1 record and led the champioinship for 1000 days in row now (who was the last person to lead a championship before him you ask? Yeah. Charles. Smh. Ferrari give him the car or so I swear)

Szafnauer is apparently working on a project to bring 12th team to the grid (so this must be what Andretti was hinting at) – btw there are rumours F1 is very much interested in the team being a Chinese manufacturer

The new Hulu show Downforce with Daniel Ricciardo included will not be happening

Rafael Villagomez will stay with VAR in F2 for this year

and Victor Martins got confirmed for ART in F2 so F2 grid is complete

and Charles randomly dropped two new pieces when he woke up at 11am today: MC24 and SIN24

Now for pure gossip from my comms:

Gabriel Bortoleto made good choices under Fernando Alonso’s management and apparently has an exit clause from Sauber if there is a better offer for him and he also has “first buy” option from McLaren

A lot of people online were angry at Hungarian’s newspaper investigation into driver pays for this year (let me mention two interesting parts)

Yuki is criminally underrated with the same rumoured pay as Kimi Antonelli (despite being in his 5th year with the team), apparently it is due the Japanese personal sponsors not bringing as much money as the team would like from him

And Charles’ pay compared to Lewis’ (first of all lewis is 7 times wdc so idk if anyone expected them being paid the same??? But there are actually many other reasons like Ferrari sponsoring Charles’ junior career including a prestigious seat in Prema Racing in 2017 in F2 or Arthur running in FP1 in AD 2024 which reportedly took about a million out of Charles’ pay)

They have “multiple sources” saying Kimi Antonelli totalled 3 cars during his testing to be prepared for F1 which is the main reason Toto hired Val as a reserve driver, in fear of something like that happening in Kimi’s rookie season

Ferrari said no to Newey because he wanted a share in the team and with it also decision rights, on the other hand, Aston didn’t mind that – but now that Newey is a shareholder he apparently doesn’t agree with Lance staying in the team

Haas has Ollie for two years with + 1 option but Ferrari has first-buy rights on him

TRI 1-Fleischer Studios & Walt Disney studios

Max Fleisher. Born in Poland, Fleischer immigrated to the United States where he co-founded Fleischer studios along with his brother Dave Fleischer in 1929. He was famously known for his tv shows Popeye, Betty Boop and Koko the Clown. Betty Boop was his most successful cartoon. Her design was inspired by a popular singer Helen Kane. She was featured in 90 theatrical cartoons between 1930 and 1939. Max and Dave who ran Fleischer studios, had to put their studio to an end in 1942when paramount became the parent company and the distributor to its animation films. In its prime, Fleischer studios was a premiere producer of animated cartoons for cinemas with Walt Disney Productions being his chief competitors in the 1930’s. Today the company is again family owned and overseas the licensing and merchandising for its characters.

Walt Disney was one of the most well-known animators even today. He was an American animator, film producer and entrepreneur. He introduced several developments in the production of cartoons he holds the most academy awards earned and nominations by an individual, having won 22 Oscars from 59 nominations. He first set up the Disney brothers studio with his brother Roy then developed the character Mickey Mouse in 1928 who was first featured in a short film called Steamboat Willie which was his first highly popular success and in the 1950’s he expanded the amusement park industry and in July 1955, opened Disneyland in California to fund the project he diverse into television programmes such as walt Disney’s Disneyland and The Mickey Mouse Club.

Slow In and Slow Out

 Slow In and Slow Out describes the tendency of things to come to rest, or to start moving, in a progressive way. This is a principle that most people understand pretty quickly, as it’s easy to observe in life. This principle tells us that when we animate something moving from a stop, the spacing of that object needs to progressively increase (widen) until it gets up to speed, at which point the spacing becomes relatively constant.

Spacing is a term that comes from the days of animating on paper. It’s slang for movement from frame to frame. 

in the early days of hand-drawn animation, even spacing was commonly used (which gives the same effect as linear tangents in Maya). No slow out, no slow in, and equal movement between every drawing. The movement was abrupt, then smooth, and mechanically unnatural.

animators came to realize that objects accelerate when they start to move and therefore, they needed more drawings there. This became known as a slow out, because the extra drawings slowed the action down at the beginning of the movement, just like in real life.  the gradual reduction in speed when coming to a stop, again portrayed by extra drawings, became known as slow in. By varying the number of in-betweens, the nature of the slow in or slow out is made more gradual or more rapid.

Max Fleischer (born Majer Fleischer July 19, 1883 – September 11, 1972) was a Polish American animator and studio owner. Born in Kraków, Poland, Fleischer immigrated to the United States where he became a pioneer in the development of the animated cartoon and served as the head of Fleischer Studios, which he co-founded with his younger brother Dave.

 He brought such comic characters as Koko the Clown, Betty Boop, Popeye, and Superman to the movie screen, and was responsible for several technological innovations, including the rotoscope, the "follow the bouncing ball"

By 1914, the first commercially produced animated cartoons began to appear in movie theaters. They tended to be stiff and jerky. Fleischer devised an improvement in animation through a combined projector and easel for tracing images from a live-action film.  Which was known as the Rotoscope.

Max Fleischer's Betty Boop character was born out of a cameo caricature in the early Talkartoon, Dizzy Dishes (1930). Fashioned after popular singer Helen Kane, she originated as a hybrid poodle/canine figure and was such a sensation in the New York preview that Paramount encouraged Fleischer to develop her into a continuing character. While she originated under animator Myron "Grim" Natwick, she was transformed into a human female under Seymour Kneitel and Berny Wolf and became Fleischer's most famous character.

Popeye became one of the most successful screen adaptations of a comic strip in cinema history. Much of this success was due to the perfect match of the Fleischer Studio style combined with its unique use of music. By the late 1930s, a survey indicated that Popeye had eclipsed Mickey Mouse in popularity, challenging Disney's pre-eminence in the market.

 Dave Fleischer worked as an usher at the Palace Theater on Broadway, where he was exposed to vaudeville. This experience contributed to the development of his sense for gags and comic timing, which came into play when he joined forces with his older brother, Max in the production of animated cartoons. 

he became interested in being a clown for one of the sideshow amusements. This clown character would be recalled a few years later in connection with Max's early experiments with his first major invention, "The Rotoscope" and was the source of their first character who evolved into Koko the Clown in the pioneering series, Out of the Inkwell.

[hazes-city-of-glass-official]

Hello, my name is Haze. I’d like to give you an introduction to the official page for a story I call City of Glass.

First a disclaimer, City of Glass is the third iteration of a story created years ago, meaning most things are being reworked from the ideas of children. As of posting this we are in no way done with sorting our list of characters, so the amount may seem small.

And now another disclaimer, City of Glass contains sensitive topics such as physical and emotional abuse, alcohol/drug abuse, crime, crime often associated with the mafia, mentions of the mafia/mob, near death experiences, actual death, weapons, probably incorrect explanations of weapon making, does capitalism count? And possibly a few I’m unable to list at this time

As I said you can call me Haze. When referring to me please use They/them or she/her. I am the one who does most of the writing for City of Glass, I also handle a good portion of the finalized character designs. Character groups such as the Rikke family, the Valdis family, the Ariston family, and the Ealar family belong to me. I suppose I also handle a few miscellaneous characters who lack last names.

Let’s move onto the co-owner(?)

We’ll simply refer to her as G. When referring to her use she/her. While she does some of the writing for City of Glass, it’s mostly small bits that will be added to the longer writing I will post online. G obviously does designs for her characters, but leaves me to add more details due to our differences in experience. She handles characters such as the Halloway family.

You can ask anything! The only guidelines are that they don’t get too personal when it comes to me and G, and refrain from explicit/nsfw asks for now.

You can even ask things directed at select characters(children and few others are currently off limits at this time)! It’ll give us an excuse to write more about them. Asks related to G and her characters will take longer to answer however.

To expel any confusion, here’s a list of who you can ask/ask about.

Real:

Haze

G

Fictional:

Main(?) characters;

Jason Rikke

Jack Valdis

Kane Valdis

Ray Ariston

Darius Ealar

Prim Ealar

Talia Cicero-Ealar

Lex Halloway

Jacob Halloway

Max Halloway

Jaycee Halloway

Side characters;

Devora Ariston

TRI 1- Week 2 Bouncing Ball Animation + Squash and Stretch

Week 2: On the 2nd week we had to develop our bouncing ball animations from the first week, so I decided to make a tennis ball bouncing through a basketball hoop and the reason why I used a tennis ball instead of a basketball is because I wanted it to be different and that basketballs don't have that much bounce as a tennis ball does.

An example of an animator who used this in his animation was rubber hose animator Max Fleisher. Born in Poland, Fleischer immigrated to the United States where he co founded Fleischer studios along with his brother Dave Fleischer. He was famously known for his tv shows Popeye, Betty Boop and Koko the Clown. Betty Boop was his most successful cartoon. Her design was inspired by a popular singer Helen Kane. She was featured in 90 theatrical cartoons between 1930 and 1939.

There has been minor revitalization in recent years with a modern example of the 2017 video game cuphead, developed and published by studio MDHR This game has been inspired by the rubber hose style of animation and used in cartoons from the golden age of american animation such as Walt Disney Animation and (the mentioned) Fleischer studios

Sid Vicious “Sid Lives” 2019. Black Friday Record Store Day release, Jungle Records, tri-color double-LP vinyl. Live recordings from two of Sid’s last-ever shows on September 28th and 30th, 1978 at Max’s Kansas City in NYC. His backing band included New York Dolls’ Jerry Nolan and Killer Kane, plus Steve Dior who writes an incredibly lengthy set of liner notes on the inside of the gatefold cover. Besides a meticulous timeline of Sid’s life, it also contains some interesting tidbits regarding this recording: Mick Jones from The Clash performed with Vicious at the first of the Max shows but “Sid said he didn’t like Mick’s guitar coz he played too much lead, so that was the only show he did. That first show wasn’t recorded. But thankfully two more nights were and here they are, in all their rough and ready glory.” 

The shows are rough, that’s for sure. I’m familiar with several of these live recordings as they first appeared on the 1979 release Sid Sings and I totally recognize a beyond-irritating audience member who was too close to the recording equipment “singing backup” through much of the set and shouting out shit constantly. The four sets from the two evenings on Sid Lives are pretty similar. They all include covers of The Stooges’ “I Wanna Be Your Dog” and “Search and Destroy,” the Vicious-penned Sex Pistols song “Belsen Was a Gas,” Paul Revere and the Raiders/The Monkees’ “Stepping Stone,” Jerry Nolan’s “Take a Chance” (from the liner notes: “Sid had to read the lyrics every night we did this. And every night he lost ‘em.”), and Dave Berry via Sex Pistols’ “Don’t Gimme No Lip, Child.” There are two Johnny Thunders covers that don’t appear on all of the sets: “Born to Lose” and “Chatterbox” (from the liner notes: “Originally Johnny Thunders was offered the other guitar spot [in Dior’s band that backed Vicious], on the condition that he was somewhat straight. I was there when [Jerry] Nolan called him. ‘Johnny, if you turn up looking the least bit silly, I’m walking!’ Thunders never showed up. Too many junkies on the one stage is a recipe for total disaster!”) plus Richard Hell’s (co-written by Dee Dee Ramone) “Chinese Rocks” and Eddie Cochran’s “Something Else.” One of my favorites is Sid’s cover of Paul Anka’s “My Way” made popular by Frank Sinatra. Back when I first heard Sid Sings in the 1980′s I honestly had never heard Frank’s version before so my only awareness of the classic pop tune was Sid’s. Hahaha, imagine my surprise when I finally heard the original. 

Again according to the liner notes, Vicious had planned to go into the studio with the band (going by The Idols at the time) soon after these shows. However, twelve days after the last gig on October 12th, Sid’s girlfriend Nancy Spungen was found dead with a knife wound to her abdomen and Sid was arrested on murder charges. Steve Dior clearly doesn’t believe Sid did it. “I got to see many tender moments between Sid and Nancy. My memories are fond. I remember clearly the moment I summoned up the courage to ask him about Nancy. We sat alone in my apartment on 3rd Street. I wanted to ask him but I was really scared. Finally: ‘Sid, I’ve to ask you! Did you do it?’ ‘No! Steve! I didn’t! I didn’t kill Nancy!’”
