Happy Halloween Comets! We here at AMP would like to discuss some of the scariest and spookiest things that happened last month. Starting off: the 2021 Met Gala; the horrors were truly endless. There was poor fashion choices and badly timed, poorly attempted political statements. The theme was American Fashion, and somehow the crowd of […]

September Ed Desk
Welcome back comets! We at AMP have dearly missed throwing out our unassailable opinions and hearing laughter all over campus from our witty satirical pieces. Quick update on some of the absolute most important news: Rihanna is a billionaire, Jeff Bezos went to space for like 10 seconds, and the Olympics happened. The Olympics have […]

AMP Watches: I’m In Love With a Church Girl
When the film declared it was executive-produced by God, we at AMP knew we were in for a gruelling ride. Don’t get us wrong, we don’t have any problem with religion, barring any dogma that stems from it, but something about I’m in Love With a Church Girl really put us off. Perhaps it was […]

April Ed Desk
As if the deadly snowstorm that we faced in February wasn’t enough to prove the failure of our elected officials, in March, Governor Greg Abbott recalled the statewide mask mandate. Statewide, masks are no longer required in public places. Even though most businesses will still require masks in their stores, some will not. Other businesses […]

March Ed Desk: I Think We’re Alone Now
As we recover from the devastating winter storm that passed through Texas mere weeks ago, we at AMP felt it was important to discuss the circumstances surrounding the disaster, and its political fallout. In this issue, we’re featuring some reactionary satire and opinion articles from our fellow Comets. The one thing that we want to […]

AMP Watches: Vampires Suck
We at AMP were feeling a little nostalgic this month and wanted to travel all the way back to 2010–the height of Twilight fever–to watch Vampires Suck, a film parodying the Twilight Series. We’ll start by saying this film is not good, something readers may be familiar with at this point. However, it was extremely […]

AMP Watches: Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed
Folks, it’s been a rough January. We really just needed something light-heartedly bad to lift our spirits. That’s why we decided to watch one of the members of our editorial board’s favorite movies, Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed. Fear not though, dear reader, because whilst Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed may be the apex of […]
