"Novocaine Viewing Guide: Showtimes and Streaming Options"

Author:Kristen Update:May 08,2025

Following a press tour where Jack Quaid, known for his role in *The Boys*, was seen progressively more battered at a Clippers game, the R-rated action comedy *Novocaine* has hit the theaters. Quaid stars as a man who feels no pain, and it seems he's fully embracing the role by getting drenched in fake blood at every opportunity.

In her review for IGN, critic Lena Wilson praised *Novocaine* for offering "more depth than its gimmicky 'man who feels no pain' premise may lead you to believe." She appreciated the film's "clever storytelling and character writing," noting that it evokes the joy of going to the movies just for fun.

If you're eager to catch *Novocaine* in theaters or curious about its streaming availability, here's what you need to know:
