¡Casa Bonita Mi Amor!, the new documentary about Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s restaurant side-hustle/$40 million midlife crisis, is a big hit with audiences so far. Which isn’t all that surprising considering that cable TV has already proven that people like both South Park and watching strangers go through hellish ordeals in restaurants.

Well, soon we’re going to be getting yet another feature-length doc about the exploits of Parker and Stone, thanks to good old physical media. And it also involves the culinary arts — to some degree at least.

Parker’s directorial debut, 1993’s Cannibal! The Musical, is receiving its first ever Blu-Ray release, meaning that we’ll finally be able to see the alleged flesh-eating exploits of Alfred Packer in high definition. And just imagine how crisp the audio will be on songs like “Let’s Build a Snowman” and “Shpadoinkle.”

The film is actually being released by two different companies.

South Park fans and multimillion dollar novelty eatery enthusiasts are no doubt eagerly awaiting ¡Casa Bonita Mi Amor!, the new documentary chronicling Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s efforts to restore the beloved Colorado restaurant to its former glory.

Instead of being unceremoniously dumped onto streaming services like so many other documentaries these days, ¡Casa Bonita Mi Amor! is actually getting a theatrical release. In fact, it’s out right now — but only in one theater in Colorado.

While the movie is coming to select cities on September 13th, it opened this past weekend at the Alamo Drafthouse in Denver, which isn’t far from the actual Casa Bonita. The hometown release was a huge hit even before it began, with booming presales prompting the theater to adjust its screening schedule from two showings a day to “4-5 shows, possibly with more to be added.”

Matt Stone and Trey Parker have never been scared of controversy. However, they showed they are unwilling to take on the upcoming controversies this year. As a result, the duo chose to delay the next season until 2025. The creators don’t want to deal with the real-world headaches of 2024.

Here is why Matt and Trey chose to push off South Park until 2025.

South Park Won’t Be Back Until 2025

Any fan who hoped to see a new season of South Park in 2024 will be disappointed. Many fans wanted to see Matt Stone and Trey Parker deliver their scathing criticism of the upcoming presidential election, but the creators want nothing to do with it.

While there will be plenty of chances to spoof the upcoming presidential election, Matt and Trey are tapping out. This is unusual for them since they usually attack all real-world issues with no abandon.

South Park fans no doubt are familiar with Casa Bonita, a Denver restaurant that features prominently in a classic season seven episode. Well, Casa Bonita is officially making a comeback in a new documentary from the creators of South Park, and it just received its first trailer and theatrical release date.

According to Variety, the documentary, Casa Bonita Mi Amor!, will premiere in Denver on Sept. 6 and will hit theaters in New York, Los Angeles, Austin, Boston and other select cities starting Sept. 13. For those who won't be able to attend a screening, the documentary will drop on Paramount+ in the fall. The documentary will follow South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker as they attempt to restore the iconic Denver restaurant which is considered the "Disneyland of Mexican restaurants." The documentary won the audience award at the Tribeca Festival, and is directed by Arthur Bradford.
