How to Watch Novocaine - Showtimes and Streaming Status

by Joshua Mar 16,2025

Following a press tour that hilariously showcased Jack Quaid sporting increasingly impressive battle wounds at a Clippers game, Novocaine has finally hit theaters. This R-rated action-comedy stars Quaid as a man impervious to pain, leading one to suspect the Boys veteran actively sought out opportunities for fake blood splatters.

IGN critic Lena Wilson offers a surprisingly positive take, stating, “Novocaine offers more depth than its gimmicky 'man who feels no pain' premise suggests, boasting clever storytelling and character writing that evokes the simple joy of a great theatrical experience.”
