Feature Teacher

I was doing something with the TV on in the background.  A rerun (of course) of Johnny Carson's show was playing.  His guest was film and theatre director Elia Kazan.

Johnny started listing Kazan's famous movies, and I thought he said "Beavis And Butt-Head."

Obviously this couldn't be true--Carson went off the air in 1992 and the Beavis and Butt-Head film didn't even come out until 1996.

So I tried to reverse-engineer it.  After going over Kazan's filmography, I'm pretty sure it's got to be Viva Zapata!  It's got the right rhythm and sounds.  Nothing else really comes close.

Viva Zapata! isn't a bad film, by the way, but it's no Beavis And Butt-Head Do America.

An approximately 15 minute conversation. Does that even happen in talk shows today?
