We asked Old 97’s frontman Rhett Miller to guest edit magnetmagazine.com this week, and he pawned it off on a bunch of his famous friends: other musicians, actors, writers and comedians. Well played, Rhett. But you can’t hide behind a self-titled solo album. Rhett Miller (Shout! Factory), a Beatlesque beauty featuring Jon Brion, is out this week.
Nick Offerman is a great comedic actor. Also, a great actor. I met him when he was making the underrated cult-classic film Treasure Island. Currently, he is appearing alongside Amy Poehler in NBC’s Parks And Recreation. He exudes manliness, from his occasional mustache to his talent for building things out of wood. Total stud.

Children’s Hospital
If you like funny people who make you blow beverages out your nose, then step up to Childrens’ Hospital, the hilarious web series created by Rob Corddry (The Daily Show, W., Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay) that crosses many of the lines you might imagine one might cross in a comedy set in a children’s hospital. With Megan Mullally, Ken Marino, Lake Bell and many other familiar faces from what is funny these days. (Spoiler Alert: Somebody puts a condom on a zucchini!) In 10 episodes at $5 a pop, it’s bursting with bang for your buck.
