Anybody who things "money shot" is primarily a porn thing is so porn addicted that they shouldn't dare try stirring a pot on that topic.

You are silly.

I had no idea of the origin of this term, and I assume a lot of people don't know it either. Those who know will be amused, not shocked.
No worries, OP.

This would have probably gone over my head and even if it hadn’t, wouldn’t have thought anything of it tbh. Wouldn’t worry about it op!!

I'm 40. Honestly, I would probably chuckle on the inside and would remember your interview. Wouldn't find it weird or be offended by it. Depending on your age, I would probably assume you had no idea of the connotations of the phrase.

Lol I've accidentally used this phrase at work in my buttoned up corporate culture in the past 12 months (i'm fairly senior but am sometimes "authentic" in talking). As soon as it was out of my mouth I was like WHOOPS A DAISY but oh well.
May be alright - who knows.

Double entendre phrases are WONDERFUL to use to tease a reaction in formal social situations.

I have no idea what this phrase means and it would go right over my head.

Also a woman in my 40s and it would give me pause but would probably not keep me from moving you forward if you were otherwise the best candidate.

I’m a woman in my 40s and I give interviews.
I think I would be both aware of the naughty meaning of the phrase but also completely aware of the fact that it gets used a lot and you clearly just meant an impressive view. These things can slip into our vocabulary.
I would not be put off from hiring you based on this.
