In this eyebrow-raising episode of iCritic LIVE, Kevin dives into the unexpected drama involving Emmy-winning animator Jorge R. Gutierrez—best known for The Book of Life, Maya and the Three, and El Tigre. What started as admiration turned into digital exile when Gutierrez hit the block button... but why?

Was it a misunderstood critique? A clash of creative philosophies? Or something far more bizarre? Kevin unpacks the timeline, the tweets, and the tangled web of creator dynamics that led to this surreal moment. Expect sharp analysis, a dash of humor, and a candid look at how public personas and private boundaries collide in the animation world.

Whether you're here for the tea 🍵 or the thoughtful takeaways, this episode explores the fine line between fandom, feedback, and fallout. Tune in for a wild ride through the world of animated legends and online reputations.

🧠 Topics include:
- Jorge R. Gutierrez’s legacy and influence
