History Trivia / DiamandaHagan

* OldShame: Her reviews of ''Zombeak'', ''Poultrygeist'' and ''Film/TheIslandOfDrMoreau1996'', because of [[WebVideo/YouCanPlayThis JewWario]]'s involvement. Rather than delete them, she kept them up for historical purposes and disabled the comments. In the re-uploaded description, she says she never wants to view either video again.

* [[TalkingToHimself Talking to Herself]]: Any scene with Diamanda talking to Aleister, or Nina Galas. She takes this one step further when her voiceover self and on-camera self both start talking to each other in ''Preaching to the Perverted'' and ''Film/{{Emmanuelle}} 5.''
-->'''Diamanda''': Voiceover version of me, are you sure that's the right part?
-->'''Voiceover''': Do you want to do this? I could stand in front of a camera, looking all glamorous if you'd rather stand here, yelling into a microphone for no credit at all!
** This gets taken up a notch in the ''Tribulation'' review, where voiceover-Hagan and the on-camera-Hagan take out the writer-Hagan, and they both end up being unfunny and awkward, not knowing what to do next because writer-Hagan is the one who writes how they behave.
** ''Last House on Dead End Street'' has voice and on-camera being the same, but their rage against the writer backfiring. Also, ''Film/TheIslandOfDrMoreau1996'' starts with the four Hagans arguing with writer-Hagan asking how such a crossover is possible.

* RealitySubtext: A recent crossover with the Omega has Diamanda call her "adorable" and Omega finishing the review with: "Yes! I think she likes me!". Giovanni the talking lobster also suggests why the two don't just get married already.

Her videos on Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses were released at a constant, steady rate, starting with ''The Black Gestapo'', as it was the first episode to feature any sort of continuity.

* RealLife/MeanCharacterNiceActor: Out of character, Hagan is very friendly and humble, frequently thanking her fanbase for their support.
** In her review for ''Battle for the Bone'', she even breaks character to say that the reason she does these reviews is to try to get more visibility for these obscure features and at least gen up some level of interest, and that while the film in question ''is'' shit, it serves as a unique example among the usual product of Northern Irish films and the creators could possibly do better with some money and support.

** She stated on Twitter that she's "more than two minorities", but didn't elaborate to keep up the mystery. Later added it's "at least four or five"
*** One of the minority factors might be that she's of Scottish descent; another that she was raised in accordance with the teachings of the Bahá'í faith, which she has left behind later in life.
