And although they make few musicals now, I can just see him in the lead role in Kiss Me Kate!

Meat was going to be in a Babe Ruth movie? I know the "The Babe" script was floating around for a while before Goodman became a "known" actor, but I never heard anything before about Meat being even remotely attached to it. I DO know John STILL wants a "do over" on it, but realizes it ain't going to happen.
Henry VIII- Isn't that the one with Falstaff?? Goodman covered that one too. quite well, I heard. Almost as good as his defining stage role of 'Pap Finn' in "Big River", based on Huckleberry Finn.
