There was a huge buzz when it was announced that JME would be playing himself in a film set in a vegan utopia, but it did beg the question – why now?

JME has probably been sent his fair share of scripts to choose from, so what was it about Simon Amstell’s Carnage: Swallowing The Past that grabbed him?

The MC explained all while visiting MistaJam to take over the playlist. It turns out the film is just really, really funny.

It looks like we’ve got something to look forward to.The film, set in 2067, depicts a world where everyone is living a vegan lifestyle – and are baffled by the fact people used to eat animals. The film is expected on the BBC this year, but in the meantime you can listen to JME’s full interview and song selection here.
