The Deadpool Soundtrack Is a Brilliant, Nostalgic Gold Mine

Updated on 3/10/2016 at 12:25 PM

Deadpool is Ryan Reynolds's raunchiest, wildest, and best movie in a long time, but we haven't even started to talk about the soundtrack. The music selected to accompany Marvel's baddest good guy is a nostalgia gold mine, including Salt-N-Pepa's classic "Shoop" and some well-chosen Wham! from George Michael's '80s group. If you've just seen the movie, you will want to listen to these jams over and over again, and you can do just that here.
