The lawsuit (#19) revealing a seemingly mutually abusive marriage is over: on June 1, Heard was found liable on three counts of defaming her ex-husband Depp. (Though it wasn't a total victory for Depp; the jury found that one of his lawyer's statements regarding Heard was also defamatory.)

After repeatedly being delayed, the #12-led Maverick was finally released on May 27, 36 years after its predecessor (#8).

The biggest hit of 1986 concerned naval aviators going to the TOPGUN academy.

The love interest of #8, also known for playing an Amish in Witness, an attorney in The Accusedand not much else, was not brought back for #6. She says it didn't bother her.

Americans are still reeling from the devastating mass shooting that left 22 dead (including the perpetrator) and 18 injured, and criticism of Uvalde law enforcement's response to the shooting continues to mount as more details come to light. (Depressingly, people seem to already be moving on, given that it's fallen 20 places from last week.)
Two of #3's most prominent women, the suffering mother Joyce Byers, played by the best known cast member upon debut (Beetlejuice, Heathers, two Oscar noms, etc.), and her daughter-in-law Nancy Wheeler, who is trying to make a name for herself in movies like Velvet Buzzsaw and Yes, God, Yes.
