How to watch 'Memes and Nightmares' online from anywhere — stream NBA Twitter mockumentary
A famous NBA Twitter meme has been stolen from the net. Who you gonna call? These guys? Really?

You know the J.R. Smith squint meme right? The most beloved NBA meme of all time? Well, it's gone - been stolen/kidnapped/rubbed out. And two men, iconic social-media personality Josiah Johnson (aka King Josiah) and co-star Jamel Johnson are out to find out what happened to it. There are rumors it could have been an inside job.
Here's how to watch "Memes and Nightmares" from anywhere with a VPN.
"Memes and Nightmares" arrives on Hulu in the U.S. on Thursday, February 20.
• U.S. — Hulu / Disney Plus Bundle
• Rest of the World — Disney Plus
• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN risk-free
With huge cast (just check out the cast list below), "Memes and Nightmares" takes a satirical look at the world of NBA Twitter, its place in the pantheon of popular culture and digital fandom and, therefore, a sideways glance at the power and influence of the internet today.
It also offers the perfect platform for Josiah and Jamal Johnson (not related) to take their hilarious buddy cop spiel on the road as the 'Brothers Johnson' and meet everyone they've ever wanted to meet from the world of sports (including J.R. Smith), sports broadcasting, social media and even hip hop legend Flavor Flav. Do they find the meme? That would be telling.
