★★★★ · Im picking my nose.. Is that a good habit? · Spuzz · 2019-10-19

Almost endless exploration about what makes good and bad habits. Film first focuses on Bob, who wants to become a better baseball player. He is given instruction by Jerry, whose a better ball player, but doesn't have good social skills. So they trade off. Then the film focuses on Jerry more, which is a surprising thing for Coronet to do, switching around it's main characters like that. Anyways, it does go back to Bob eventually. Nice technique there.
