Following a press tour where Jack Quaid appeared increasingly battered at a Clippers game, the R-rated action comedy Novocaine has hit theaters. Quaid stars as a man who can't feel pain, leading to speculation that the 'The Boys' alum enjoys getting drenched in fake blood for his roles.

In her review for IGN, critic Lena Wilson praises Novocaine for its depth beyond the initial gimmick of a pain-insensitive protagonist. She notes the film's "clever storytelling and character writing," evoking nostalgia for the pure enjoyment of cinematic outings.
