“Abracadabra” (2018) Portlandia S8E4
Bekkah:
Welp we did it! We watched all of the Portlandia episodes with Jeff! Some were terrible, some were okay, all were better because Jeff was in them. Even as a creepy magician, Jeff shines bright in his sequined blazer. I’d let him saw me in half! But maybe not the alligator trick. The rest of this episode was pretty bad. Not especially offensive, but just un-funny, which I think is fitting since I still do not really like this show! At least I’m done and I never have to watch another episode!
Danya:
Huzzah Bekkah never has to watch another Portlandia ever again! This episode mostly confused me. At one point I had to literally ask Bekkah if this was funny because I couldn’t quite get the joke. People obsessed with breakfast? Is that funny? I still don’t know. Jeff as a musician was twinkly sparkle on a weird dud of an episode. I can see why this is their last season, because ::head scratch::
