This week we're diving into movies that were mismarketed, either by misleading trailers, inept promotion, or downright deceptive advertising. We've got preachy dramas disguised as rom-coms, black comedies disguised as screwball stoner flicks, a space epic that no one knew about, and one bald-faced lie of a talking kangaroo.

With Glass just on the horizon, we here at Reel Phonies thought it would be a good idea to reflect on the ups, downs, and headscratchers that make up the complicated but surprisingly steady filmography of the one and only M. Night Shyamalan. We share our thoughts and insight on the hits (The Sixth Sense, Signs), the misses (The Last Airbender, The Happening), and the unclear (The Village, Split) and determine whether M. Night Shyamalan, as a concept, is better or worse than Michael Bay's Transformers. Is there a twist ending? Tune in to find out!
