Following a press tour that hilariously showcased Jack Quaid increasingly battered at a Clippers game, Novocaine has hit theaters. This R-rated action-comedy stars Quaid as a man impervious to pain—leading to the amusing suspicion that the Boys veteran actively seeks out fake blood splatters.
IGN critic Lena Wilson praises the film, 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.”

Novocaine will stream on Paramount+, not Netflix or Hulu. Recent Paramount releases like Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Gladiator 2 arrived on the service roughly three months after their theatrical debuts. Following a similar pattern, expect Novocaine to stream on Paramount+ around late June.
