* HypotheticalCasting: She made a video ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTG1Sfd8cnQ Fancasting The Doctor]]''. Her picks are Creator/AlexanderSiddig, Keith Lee-Castle, Louisa Harland, Ramon Tikaram and Sarah Swire. Her honorable mentions are Creator/RichardOBrien, Leo [=McKern=], Creator/RichardCoyle, Creator/MichelleGomez, Creator/PattersonJoseph and Creator/TildaSwinton.

** [[DrinkingGame "Take a Shot!"]] Although this could also count as SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped.

* SpiritualSuccessor: For her, ''Manborg'' is one for ''{{VideoGame/Mortal Kombat}}''. Manborg himself is Kano, Justice is Johnny Cage, Number One Man is Liu Kang, and Mina is Sonya Blade. For her, it also makes a more faithful ''{{Film/TRON}}'' sequel than ''{{Film/TRON Legacy}}''.

* CompletelyMissingThePoint: She believes castration to be this.
-->You cut off his cock so he ''can't'' cum, not his balls so he doesn't ''want'' to!

** In her review of "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E4AliensOfLondon Aliens of London]]/[[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E5WorldWarThree World War Three]]", she applauds Creator/RussellTDavies' mastery of GettingCrapPastTheRadar.

She was a member of Website/{{Reviewtopia}}, but she left in January 2013 after an incident at the [=MAGfest=] FanConvention involving members of the site (notably Creator/LordKat) abusing and exploiting an overly drunk woman to get viewers on a live stream. She also appeared with her real life wife WebVideo/TheOmega on Project Million Entertainment, for a podcast called Lesbian Talk, which has since migrated to WebVideo/TheOmega's Website/YouTube channel.

-->-- '''Diamanda Hagan''', playing against type.

[[https://www.youtube.com/user/DiamandaHagan Diamanda Hagan]] is a [[UsefulNotes/NorthernIreland Northern Irish]] ButchLesbian and EvilOverlord of the nation of Haganistan, with a {{mysterious past}} (who [[https://twitter.com/Diamandahagan/status/177195230565642241 might have previously been]] Jerrica "{{WesternAnimation/Jem}}" Benton in a cartoon) and a sideline as a film critic and the host of ''Diamanda Hagan: Lecher Bitch''. She mostly reviews bad movies, but has also done a recap/review of the series ''Series/{{Bonekickers}}'', ''Urban Gothic'' and ''Series/AdamAdamantLives''; ''Twatty Who Reviews'', focusing on the worst episodes of ''Series/DoctorWho'', and the ''Homeless Bsterrd Theatre Reviews'' starring Aleister D. Homelesssb’sterrd. This is similar to WebVideo/BumReviews, but focusing on theater (she even describes him as a distant cousin of Chester A. Bum).

** ''Series/AdamAdamantLives'': A "very flawed" but beloved drama/fantasy show from the 1960's, loved for its [[{{FairForItsDay}} 1960's depictions of sex and violence]].
** ''Urban Gothic'': a mostly disappointing [[{{GenreAnthology}} horror anthology series]] with a couple stories that truly stand out as brilliant.

* SuddenlySexuality: Is amazed during ''Raspberry Reich'' how quickly the straight characters turn gay.
-->'''Diamanda''': Perhaps [[TheFundamentalist Ted Haggard]] was right. [[ARareSentence You know, those are four words I hope I never have to say in that order again.]]

* FridgeHorror: [[invoked]] Why she believes ''Ilsa: She-Wolf of the SS'' has a less FamilyUnfriendlyAesop than ''Left Behind.''

* BadassGay: Runs her own nation like a dictator, kills people, comes back from the dead, and strikes terror in the heart of Kirk Cameron as well as other internet reviewers.

** She appeared in WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick's review of ''Disney/TheLittleMermaid'', promoting violence against merfolk.

*** The ''Series/{{Bonekickers}}'' episode "The Cradle of Civilisation" used what were essentially middle-eastern devil worshipers as their bad guys. The episode was centered around ''Iraq'' and aired during TheWarOnTerror.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar:
** In review of ''Starbooty'', one of the film's characters was dressed [[{{Stripperific}} only in what's best described as a fishnet]] and her nipples were partially visible without any censorship.
** Her review of ''Bad Biology'' had an incredible amount of this, to the point where you think she may have burned the radar. Though she censored any breast shots, she somehow managed to get a giant, deformed, drug-addicted, sentient penis along with [[spoiler:its half-human offspring]] ([[ItMakesSenseInContext don't ask]]) uncensored! Also vagina-masks. Hagan justified this saying she doesn't censor obviously fake nudity.

* RousingSpeech: The mediocre one in ''Vikingdom'' is replaced by a supercut of much better ones, ranging from ''Film/IndependenceDay'' and ''Film/TheReturnOfTheKing'' to Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" speech. She and Happy Viking are in tears after it.

*** Then Kyle, The Rap Critic, and Creator/JewWario, in Hagan versions, reviewed along with Diamanda ''Film/TheIslandOfDrMoreau'' (1996).

* ''Hagan's Histories of Polar Exploration'': An extensive video essay series about the Franklin Expedition (inspired by the AMC adaption of the Dan Simmons novel, which is also critiqued and fact-checked).

* ''Backseat Critique'' a Vlog series reviewing new releases with her real life friends and collaborators. Frequently found on TGWTG.

* ''Hagan's Histories of Polar Exploration'': An extensive video essay series about the Franklin Expedition (inspired by the AMC adaption of the Author/DanSimmons novel, which is also critiqued and fact-checked).

* 'Twatty Who reviews': a voice over review show in the vein of WebSite/SFDebris, but with a lot more vitriol and a lot more sarcasm, drawing on a lifetime as a [[Series/DoctorWho classic whovian]] and a palpable disappointment with the new series. Seems to be the biggest hit with non-Hagan fans. Other shows reviewed in a similar manner include:

* 'Backseat Critique' a Vlog series reviewing new releases with her real life friends and collaborators. Frequently found on TGWTG.
* 'Lesbian Talk': A podcast co-hosted and produced with WebVideo/TheOmega.
* 'You Probably Shouldn't Cook This': An experimental cooking show centering around [[{{CordonBleughChef}} combining disparate foods with each other and trying the results]].

* [[AlternateUniverse Alternate Universe Counterpart]]: Nina Galas in the ''Film/DominionPrequelToTheExorcist'' review. She wears clothing with a lighter colour scheme and plain white facepaint, is generally more upbeat if [[BrokenBird slightly withdrawn]], and is routinely abused by the white-masked Tormentors.

** 'I am not short!...it's just that you're Creator/RichardKiel.'

* YouFailHistoryForever:

* YouFailLawForever: One of the major plotholes in The Thirteenth Child (nothing to do with the book). The police led by an assistant DA try to confront the villain, only for him to point out that not only is their only evidence completely circumstantial but it was obtained during a warrantless search of his house, and that they don't even have a warrant to do a legal search much less arrest him (he also pointed this out during the first visit, only for the assistant DA to act huffy at the idea). They then proceed to ignore this and don't even seek a warrant or call for backup when one of them dies. The review also points out that the death of the first police officer was caused by him breaking and entering without a warrant and violating the containment of a dangerous animal; taken by itself the villain would probably get off.
