Novocaine Viewing Guide: Showtimes and Streaming Options

Fresh off a press tour that saw Jack Quaid looking increasingly roughed up—most notably at a recent Clippers game—*Novocaine* has finally hit theaters. The R-rated action-comedy follows Quaid as Nathan "Novocaine" Caine, a man who can't feel physical pain, making for an unexpectedly wild ride. Considering Quaid’s well-known role in *The Boys*, it almost seems like he's made a career out of getting drenched in fake blood.

In her review for IGN, critic Lena Wilson notes that *“Novocaine offers more depth than its gimmicky 'man who feels no pain' premise may lead you to believe,”* praising the film’s “clever storytelling and character writing that reminds us of a time when seeing movies in theaters was just plain fun.”

If you're curious about catching *Novocaine* in theaters or want to know when it will be available to stream, here’s everything you need to know.
