In this episode of Get Doc’d, hosts Daphne and Wilsen dive fork-first into ¡Casa Bonita Mi Amor!, the 2024 documentary directed by Arthur Bradford. The film chronicles South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone as they rescue and reimagine Casa Bonita—the beloved, kitschy Mexican restaurant in Colorado made famous in their 2003 episode. With a budget that ballooned from $6.5 million to over $30 million, the project becomes as much about passion and nostalgia as it is about stubborn vision and chaotic ambition.

Daphne and Wilsen unpack the wild ride of the restaurant’s rebirth, the filmmakers’ behind-the-scenes access, and what it says about creative control, hometown pride, and turning childhood memories into very expensive reality. 

It’s a tale of enchiladas, cliff divers, and two creators who just couldn’t let a pink palace fade away.
