What happened to Alex Stone after Major Payne? Actor, writer, and filmmaker Steven Martini joins the Spit Take Podcast to answer that question—and reveals exclusive details about Major Stone, his planned sequel centered on the beloved character from the 1995 comedy classic.

Steven shares the inspiration behind revisiting Alex Stone decades later, how military service, PTSD, and comedy can coexist in meaningful storytelling, and why he believes Major Payne was ahead of its time. Adam, an Afghanistan veteran, offers his own perspective on how the film unexpectedly reflected real military life and mental health.

The conversation expands into Hollywood's obsession with legacy sequels, why Cobra Kai succeeded where others failed, and what modern audiences want from nostalgic franchises. Steven also dives into his journey from child actor to independent filmmaker, discusses making his cult indie film Smiling Fish and Goat on Fire, and shares his thoughts on AI's growing role in filmmaking and storytelling.

As lifelong movie nerds, the group also debates the future of Star Wars, George Lucas's original sequel trilogy ideas, Spielberg, independent cinema, and why authentic storytelling will always outlast trends.
