Three short films that probably need “don’t try this at home” warnings constitute a nutty, nicely conceived bill at the ReRun Gastropub Theater in Brooklyn. “Liquor and Drugs” is the program’s subtitle, and liquor and drugs are used and abused rather a lot in the films, which don’t exactly issue ringing endorsements of moderation.
The best of the three is “Successful Alcoholics,” with Lizzy Caplan and T. J. Miller (who wrote the script from a story by him and Jordan Vogt-Roberts, the director) as a co-dependent couple drowning in booze and yet still clinging to well-paying jobs. They might not be clinging for long: the pair’s judgment is becoming questionable, as is evident from an opening scene in which they come up with a not-too-good plan for what to do after Mr. Miller’s character vomits on his shirt during a dinner party.
