"Novocaine Viewing Guide: Showtimes and Streaming Options"

by Ellie Apr 25,2025

After a press tour featuring Jack Quaid progressively sporting more fake blood and bruises at a Clippers game, the R-rated action comedy "Novocaine" has hit theaters. Quaid stars as a man who can't feel pain, making it seem like the 'The Boys' alum goes the extra mile to get covered in gore.

In her review for IGN, critic Lena Wilson praises "Novocaine" for offering "more depth than its gimmicky 'man who feels no pain' premise may lead you to believe," with "clever storytelling and character writing that reminds us of a time when seeing movies in theaters was just plain fun."

If you're planning to catch "Novocaine" in theaters or want to know when it will be available to stream, here are all the details you need:
