Crime 101 – with Halle Berry & Chris Hemsworth
The headline pairing on Graham’s sofa are Oscar winner Halle Berry and Australian star Chris Hemsworth, promoting Crime 101, a high-stakes crime thriller directed by Bart Layton. The film casts Hemsworth as an elusive thief and Berry as a disillusioned insurance broker, with Mark Ruffalo as the detective closest to catching them.

Send Help – with Rachel McAdams
Also joining Graham is Rachel McAdams, whose latest film Send Help blends dark comedy with survival thrills. Directed by Sam Raimi, the movie features McAdams and Dylan O’Brien as co-workers stranded on a desert island after a plane crash, forcing them to confront their clashing personalities and fight to survive in unexpected ways.

The film’s black comedic tone and survival torment have made it one of the season’s buzziest January releases — and seeing McAdams on Graham will be a treat for fans.
Is This Thing On? – with John Bishop
Comedian John Bishop joins the show to discuss the Hollywood movie inspired by his own life, Is This Thing On?. Directed by Bradley Cooper and starring Will Arnett and Laura Dern, the film is a warm and witty comedy-drama loosely based on Bishop’s real journey into stand-up comedy following a life change.

Ware has carved out a reputation for soulful vocals and smart pop-leaning songwriting, and tonight’s performance will showcase her latest work — a perfect live highlight to close out the night.
