This week's See It Or Skip has us talking about the sports documentary mini-series "The Comeback: 2004 Boston Red Sox." Ian is joined by the team behind Dissecting The Dynasty: 'The Cool Cat' Ryan Kuketz and Hermes 'Have You Heard of my Revolution' Auslander. We discuss whether this film can touch the lofty standards created by The Last Dance, if they overstayed with certain talking heads and were they successful in establishing the Yankees as villains in this piece.  Also, we ask that most pesky of all questions on the BFE, did they get the pacing right?  We'll answer all these questions on The Comeback: The 2004 Boston Red Sox and then we tell you whether you should SEE IT or SKIP IT.
