‘KPop Demon Hunters' Will Return to Theaters for a Sing-Along Special
If you've been wanting to see KPop Demon Hunters on the big screen, then good news—especially if you can't stop singing Huntr/X's best hits to yourself. THR reports that Netflix will return the smash hit animated movie to theaters later this month for a limited time. Tickets for Netflix's hit film are being sold for screenings currently slated for Saturday, August 23, and Sunday, August 24. These showings will be sing-along events, meaning lyrics for the movie's songs will pop up on screen for viewers to read and belt out along with the characters. Wicked Part One had similar showings last year, and it's not uncommon for hit musicals to go this route. KPop Demon Hunters has actually graced the big screen already, but not in the sing-along format. It was in theaters for a week in LA, New York, and San Francisco when it first came out to be Oscar eligible, and Netflix later submitted its mid-movie song 'Golden' for the Best Original Song category. Next week, it'll be in the first wave of digital screeners to Oscars members as part of its For Your Consideration campaign. Depending on how popular these new KPop sing-along screenings get—and considering the soundtrack's record-breaking success right now, it's not hard to imagine that they will be—it wouldn't be surprising if Netflix extends the run for more dates. Even if it doesn't, it's another win for the film, which Netflix is already looking at as their new golden franchise, and they want to expand it with sequels, stage plays, or whatever else would make some money.

School-required vision and hearing tests now free in Monroe County
The Monroe County Health Department is offering free hearing and vision screenings for children ages 3 and older. Appointments are available through August, according to an announcement. Screenings are required by the Michigan Public Health Code for all children starting kindergarten or preschool, including those in public, private, charter, preschool, Head Start and qualifying childcare centers. Parents will need to provide proof of screening before their child enters kindergarten or Head Start. Once a child is in school, the Monroe County Health Department partners with all Monroe County school districts to continue free, in-school screenings regularly. 'Young children may not realize if they have a hearing or vision problem, which can impact their learning and development,' said Brooke Fender, hearing and vision coordinator at the Monroe County Health Department. 'Our goal is to ensure every child has all the tools they need to hear, see and learn to be successful in school.' The department's Hearing and Vision Program uses advanced equipment to ensure screenings are accessible for all students in Monroe County. The Spot Vision Screener and Otoacoustic Emissions devices accommodate students with disabilities that may have otherwise prevented them from obtaining a standard preliminary screening. This eliminates the need for parents to schedule an appointment with an outside provider for a specialized screening. Vision screenings include tests for visual acuity, farsightedness, the ability to use two eyes together and symptoms of eye problems. Hearing screenings are conducted with an audiometer and other equipment based on a child's needs. If any issues are discovered, the program assists parents with a referral to a doctor. In 2024, the Monroe County Health Department provided 15,973 hearing and vision screenings. For more information about the department's Hearing and Vision Program, go to or call 734-240-7856. The Monroe County Health Department aims to protect the public through health promotion, disease prevention and environmental preservation.
