Novocaine Viewing Guide: Showtimes and Streaming Details

Author:Kristen Update:Apr 19,2025

After a press tour featuring Jack Quaid progressively looking more battered at a Clippers game, the much-anticipated R-rated action comedy Novocaine has hit theaters. Quaid, known for his role in 'The Boys,' stars as a man who feels no pain, and it seems he's embracing the chance to get covered in fake blood for this role.

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," highlighting its "clever storytelling and character writing that reminds us of a time when seeing movies in theaters was just plain fun."

If you're eager to catch Novocaine in theaters or curious about its streaming availability, here's all the information you need.
