On Tuesday, the 5’7 Films production Don’t F***k With Ghosts became available to rent or purchase in the United States on Amazon, Apple TV and Fandango at Home. The release comes at the same time as the launch of Potluck Originals, a new YouTube channel created by 5’7 Films in partnership with The Moment Lab. The channel will showcase a mix of unscripted and hybrid content, beginning with an eight‑episode documentary series called The Great American Ghost Hunt that follows paranormal podcaster Bridget Marquardt as she takes celebrities on ghost‑hunts across the country.
What the Film Is About
In the movie, real‑life brothers‑in‑law Stu Stone and Adam Rodness play exaggerated versions of themselves. They are convinced they’ve discovered the next big thing in the paranormal world and assemble a team to prove that ghosts really exist. Their crew includes a former Playboy model turned ghost hunter, a professional wrestler, and a local psychic. The team’s goal is to bring home evidence that will convince the world that the supernatural is real.
Stone, who also co‑wrote and directed the film, says the central question of the movie is whether ghosts exist. “That’s exactly why we made this movie,” he told reporters. “We’re still not telling. You’ll have to watch it yourself.” Rodness, who serves as producer and co‑writer, has a background in genre work, having worked on Netflix’s Hemlock Grove and the superhero film Shazam! The film also features Tony Nappo and Josh Cruddas in supporting roles, and guest appearances by wrestler Colt Cabana, podcaster Bridget Marquardt and actor Michael Rapaport.
Production and Distribution
After its Canadian debut, the film is distributed in the U.S. by Filmhub. It is a co‑production between Stone and Rodness’ 5’7 Films and Winnipeg‑based Fairpoint Films, with additional involvement from Toronto‑based Farmhouse Productions. Executive producers include Kevin Hart’s Hartbeat, Kyle Bornais, Ira Levy, Ryan Kimel, Kent Sobey and Kevin Healey.
Stone’s filmography includes acting roles in cult classics such as Donnie Darko and Magic School Bus, and he has directed several genre comedies out of Toronto. Rodness has worked as a music video producer for artists like Drake, Eminem and Usher, and together they have produced feature films including the 2020 thriller Faking a Murderer.
Potluck Originals and The Great American Ghost Hunt
Potluck Originals will feature a variety of content, but the first series to air is The Great American Ghost Hunt. The eight‑episode documentary follows Marquardt as she leads a team of celebrities—including Howie Mandel, Jason Mewes, Symba, Marla Sokoloff, Alisan Porter, members of the K‑pop group FiveAlive and Cherie DeVille—on a series of ghost‑hunts. Each episode blends humor, suspense and a touch of the supernatural, mirroring the tone of the feature film.
The channel’s launch is part of a broader strategy by 5’7 Films to expand its digital footprint. By pairing a feature film with a complementary YouTube series, the company hopes to attract both fans of comedy‑paranormal hybrids and viewers who enjoy reality‑style ghost‑hunting content.
What’s Next?
Fans of the film can watch it on the major on‑demand platforms, while those who want to dive deeper into the world of ghost hunting can tune into the new YouTube channel. 5’7 Films has not yet announced a release date for additional content, but the partnership with The Moment Lab suggests that more hybrid programming may follow in the coming months.
Whether you’re skeptical about ghosts or simply looking for a fresh comedy, Don’t F***k With Ghosts offers a unique blend of humor and supernatural intrigue that is sure to spark conversation among viewers and viewers alike.
