Who is Quentin Quarantino aka Tommy Marcus? Quentin Quarantino is the screen name of Tommy Marcus, a 25-year-old University of Michigan graduate based in New York City. According to his interview with Contra Post, he adopted his screen name from his second favorite director, Quentin Tarantino. "âWes Quarandersonâ doesnât rhyme as well as âQuentin Quarantino.'" Marcus began posting memes when the Covid-19 lockdown started in March 2020 and made a pledge to post a meme every 30 minutes for every day of the then-14-day lockdown. However, when the lockdown did not end and sentiments doubting masks and the veracity of Covid-19 began taking over the news, Marcus felt he had to use his page to call it out.
