As anticipated, there’s a plethora of electric vehicles on display, alongside some unexpected disappointments – including a puzzling redesign of the Subaru Outback. We’ll also attempt to decipher the complexities of the Trump administration’s tariff situation. Be sure to stick around until the end of the episode, where we’ll be chatting with Isaiah Saxon, the director of A24’s animated film, The Legend of Ochi, about his captivating puppet-filled adventure for kids.
