#VanWilder (2002)

''Oh, they're still warm and so creamy'' 😂

I really need a #Deadpool4 that includes a #Psych crossover where DP kidnaps the actors to help him find the villain because he thinks they’re really Shawn and Gus, and they keep insisting they’re not, but still act like the characters. At some point Shawn/James tells Wade he has #VanWilder Disease and Gus/Dulé screams and passes out every time DP bleeds and is actually psychic. Colossus is already working with Jules and Carlton but acts like a jealous teen when he sees DP with the guys.
