After a press tour that recently featured Jack Quaid looking progressively more beat up at a Clippers game, the action-packed comedy "Novocaine" has hit theaters. Starring Quaid as a man who feels no pain, it seems like the 'The Boys' alum is no stranger to getting drenched in fake blood.
In her review for IGN, critic Lena Wilson highlights that “Novocaine offers more depth than its gimmicky 'man who feels no pain' premise may lead you to believe," praising the film for 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" on the big screen or curious about its streaming availability, here's what you need to know.
